This is unbelievable!! My brother gone!! Words can't express the how's my heart & soul is numb!! Wilbert wasn't perfect, but yet kind and humble!! He had lived for anyone who came in contact with him. He had a character no one else had!! He had his own funny words!! No matter what you did to him, all he continue to show, was love!! Wilbert had a heart of compassion and gold!! His life wasn't always easy!! But, he would always say, I'm alright!! Well, now my brother, you are!! I'm going to miss you calling me Rita Mayfield 😀!!
