Hey Will,
Its been a while since I have visited your site here.My thoughts of you come and go, and i know that as days pass my memories will become more and more vague.Im so greatful that this was kept online in your memory. I have a favor to ask of you, Please go and check on my grandfather from time to time. He is somewhere up there probably eating fruit in a garden or watching his favorite soap opera (GENERAL HOSPITAL).I have to end this now, my eyes are weiling up. One thing that I've learned is that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.'Rest In Peace young man.
MISS U & LUV U FOREVER

We're coming up on a year tomorrow. This has been the worse year of my life. I've never called on my God as much as I have in the last year. I can stand up and testify that without him, there's no way I would/could survive the mental pain. I have suffered a huge lost, indeed I have, but gained a stronger relationship with my God. Through you, I witnessed God's strength like never before. I felt his love in ways that I have never experienced. Now ain't that something. Your still giving. Thank You.
You're engraved in my heart William Johnson. I miss you so much Big Boy.
Forever, For Always, For Love

I think of you all the time and just laugh! I remember one time I washed your clothes and accidentally put ONE t-shirt in with the colors clothes. What did I do that for! You accused me of doing it on purpose. I went out and bought a three pack of white t-shirts and gave you only one. You wanted to know what was I going to do with the rest of the t-shirts. I told you I was going to die the rest black by mixing them in with my color clothes.
You were too much! Mad one minute and ready to go get a burger in the next!
What I wouldn't give to mess up one of your shirts now. It's sooooo hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I miss you Big Boy.
October 28, 2010
