As I stood in the line at the funeral home today and saw how the line snaked through the hallway, a couple of different rooms and around again I was overwhelmed by how many people were there to celebrate Mrs. Wilken's life. Jeff, Lisa, Mike and Jonathan clearly your Mom left her mark on this world and in the lives of everyone she knew. And it seems to me that her last selfless act as a Mom was to bring together hundred's of people that would support her kids, hug them, love them and take care of them at a time when they were the most heartbroken. She was obviously a great andloving Mom and I can only imagine how much you will miss her. Take care of yourselves and each other, Love, Susan xo

Murray, Jeff, Lisa, Michael, Jon and families, I am saddened by Isabel's passing. She was such a strong woman!! Isabel taught me so much at a time in my life when I most needed it and those lessons have not been forgotten. Please take all of your memories and wrap them with her love and tuck them away so you can take them out and reminisce when you need to get through a rough patch. My thoughts are with you all. Please know that your wife/mother was the most amazing woman and will not be forgotten. Linda

My sympathy to you Murray and family on Isabel's passing. What a hard journey you all shared the last few years. She was a wonderful person, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. You as a family were as well devoted to her and proved that over and over to her while she struggled the last few years. You gave her the dignity and love she deserved. So sorry I am away but will be at the spring interment. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
