I am so saddened to hear just now that Mrs. Wilkins passed away on the 23rd. Fortunately, I had the chance to visit her and coach recently. Just two summers ago she was completely free of cancer.
First met her over the summer between eighth and ninth grades at a little cookout when she was a young mother and coach was bouncing Lisa on his knee and blowing raspberries on her belly. She was a delight. Bright, kind, pretty, patient, fun, she loved everyone. We learned much about dedication and commitment under the tutelage of her husband and she modeled those attitudes as a mom, wife, teacher and friend. She was a precious human being. It is tough to write about her now in the past tense. Kind of takes something out of me to think she’s no longer here. She was special and important and the world lost a measure of heaven when she left us for her new eternal home. Thank you Mrs. Wilkins for being my friend and for being a truly wonderful person. You are missed.

Thank you for sharing that, Jack. She will be greatly missed.
What is the entry fee for the golf outing
Hi Dave,

Our Coach, our Mentor, our Inspiration, our Leader, our Example, our Teacher, the man who gave everything he had to give -to each of us- for 44 years, and ignited in our hearts the certainty that no matter the number or quality of our talents, if we worked harder than everyone else and if we believed in and helped each other, we could do and become more than we could ever have dreamed, needs each of us during this season of grief, to remind him of our appreciation. Anything, a note, a card, anything, just say hello. Let him know you still remember the Herd. It would mean more than you know
