[R-L] Aunts Dorothy, Ila, and Mary EllenShe is the oldest of the four Wilson sisters, of whom Kev's birth mom was one. Margaret passed away in 1967, leaving behind two brothers and these three sisters. The brothers have since passed away as well.
Aunt Ila is a little dynamo full of spunk, pep, wit, stories, life, laughter, and love. We went to visit her at her home in Victoria, British Columbia, last summer, and it was a hoot! We had such a great time listening and learning, looking at photo albums, eating like royalty, and making some wonderful memories.
She has outlived a son and two husbands, but retains a humor and spirit that doesn't take herself too seriously. Her faith, acceptance of circumstances, and a wisdom won of trials are an inspiration and model for us all.
We'll be going up to the Vancouver area this weekend to celebrate her 90th birthday. This is guaranteed to be memorable as well, as anywhere Aunt Ila is, there's a party to be had.
Thank You, Lord, for this marvelous lady.
