FIG TREE, Ala. (AP) - Chief Deputy Donny Nelson of the Autauga
County Sheriff's Office say a man saved two young children from a
burning mobile home, then died when he returned to try to save his
wife.
Nelson said 28-year-old Timothy Wilson and 31-year-old Sonya
Wilson were found close together.
Eleven-year-old Jaszyman Grove told deputies that Timothy Wilson
ran back into the fire after saving her and her five-year-old
brother, Kevon Coly. Sheriff Herbie Johnson said the children are
in the care of relatives.
The cause of the blaze had not been determined by Friday
afternoon, but investigators seemed to be keying on the electrical
system.

With all the news of bad things that goes on in life, how wonderful to read of such pure love a man could have for someone else. God will reward this man. I will pray for the family and friends of the Wilson’s.

My condolences to the family and friends of this young man and woman.  Mr. Wilson is a hero and should be remembered as so.
