Eventually, a board of directors was established, with Sam as the Chairperson of the Board. They immediately began to help people with the funds.

  After Sam graduated from college, she and Billy got married. She had wanted a simple wedding, but the Wilkerson family threw them a big fancy wedding with money that they had received from Jim McDonald before he died. Jim had realized that Sam would not spend any money on herself, so he paid for the entire thing himself.

  Mr. and Mrs. Wilkerson walked her down the aisle. Vicky was her Maid of Honor, and Billy’s brother was the best man. All of the rest of the Wilkerson children were groomsmen and bridesmaids.
