I knew Willie and Terry for 20 years. Willie was always a pleasure to chat with. He was a kind and gentle person. He knew a lot. He knew how to fix cars and motorcycles and he had help me out with my car before. Thank you Willie . I miss seeing you around the house but I know you are no longer in pain and once again riding those back roads on your Harley in Heaven. Forever Ride Willie.

And God shall wipe away all tears. RIP Wiley for you are no longer in pain. You always were nice to me and I thank you for working on my car. I wish you could have seen this picture I took of several vultures in Huber. I enjoyed our little chatts we had while sitting on the back porch. I'm glad I got to know you Wiley. I hope you're riding your Harley again in Heaven. Tell Mamma I said hello. Your friend Patty Sams.
