In Remembrance Of My Cousin

 Let's stand down and show some little respect for my cousin.

Lillian Elizabeth Wilkerson Wynn.

In 1980s, lots of people were afraid if people with HIV/AIDS (also known as PWA) but not my cousin.

She worked and pushed through with HIV/AIDS education - I remembered when she talked about it when I was a child.

May she Rest In Peace, cousin.

Cheers,

Lillian Elizabeth Wilkinson Wynn

August 5, 1946 - April 3, 2023

Born in Raleigh NC on August 5, 1946 as a 3 pound baby to Late Arthur M. Wilkinson Jr and the late Mary E. Pool Wilkinson, she attended Virginia School for the Deaf then moved to North Carolina School for the Deaf in 1958 and graduated in 1966. Surrounded by family, she passed peacefully in her home on April 3, 2023.

She rejoiced being reunited with her husband of 55 years, Monroe “Roe” G Wynn, her parents and son in law, Robert McMillan and many loved ones who have departed.

Left to remember her - two daughters Mary (Jerry “Bucky”) Carver and Sandra (“Sandy”) McMillan; three grandchildren Justin Carver, Avery (Mauri), Johnston-Wynn and Ryan Carver; and great grandchildren, Jaxon, special great grandsons, Kapton and Maximus Cruz; a host of cousins and special friends Bobbie and Paul Clayton Jr.

Lillian worked as a supervisor at National AIDS Hotline for Deaf for 5 years in RTP area before moving to Clinton, TN in 1993. She was always making crafts, especially her love for filet crocheting making namesakes, socializing with deaf people at many places, being one of the leaders striving for empowerment and growth in deaf communities in different states over the years. She loved her family very much and cherished every family gathering.

Lillian and Roe will be buried at Raleigh Memorial Park in Raleigh NC, graveside services are pending at this time.

The family expresses our gratitude to her medical team at McNeeley Family Clinic and Clinch River Davita Dialysis and Amedisys home care nurse, Candi for the care she received.

Renca Dunn Is All That

 I'm not sure on why many of you followed or liked Renca Dunn. She has demonstrated herself as Christofascist, homophobe, elitist, tumblrina and antisemitic.

Not only that, she also worked for The Daily Moth who engaged in inaccurate information from time to time.

Christofascist? Well, she worked for Deaf Missions to produce the so-called "Jesus" film which is designed to proselytize and promote her faith.

Homophobe? She partnered with the Vichs family who made several homophobic vlogs with the assistance of Patrick McMullen (who himself i
s self-loathing, closeted gay man). The Vichs made money off from exploiting their children for clicks and likes.

Elitist? I met her only once at Youth Leadership Camp's 50th Anniversary and she was pretty hostile to me (I assume because of my reputation) but I also observed her at two different times, it turns out that she does mingle with the ones who are well known for being elitist.

Tumblrina? Google it up. 'nuff said. She would claim to be supportive of women's rights, gay rights and blah. But she is very good friends with one person who married a violent sex offender and she's pretty casual about it. As long as that person's wife is her friend.

And lastly, antisemitic? She was silent about the eradication of Jewish kibbutzim in southern Israel on 10-7. She never condemned the attacks by Hamas *and* Gazans with violent actions. And antisemitism has risen 700% in this country with pro-Palestinian protesters bullying, attacking and harassing the Jews and Jewish students who has nothing to do with Israel's decisions - where was Renca? She said nothing. What did she do next? She promoted a business by Deaf woman in West Bank (not in Palestine).

See the difference? Renca used the word, Palestine instead of West Bank or Gaza - which indicated that Renca supported the Palestinian's actions from day one.

So I am not sure why you people are friends or liked her? Where is your sense of principles? Oh, that's right, you have none.

Cheers,
