Kevin and family,
Willa was so much more than just a co-worker to me...she was one of my dearest friends. What I remember most about her thru our times in Public Health was that she put first and foremost the Lord in her life, secondly her love for her family, and next came her friends. She was dedicated to all....what a wonderful example for us. I am forever grateful for my life having been touched with her presence. My prayers to all of you! May the Lord continue to provide the grace and love to sustain you in the days ahead.
