10 years, hurts like it was yesterday. I miss you Will, and think of you nearly everyday. It's bitter sweet though, Aza and Mason have this bond, and keep in touch. They get that from you and I and it seems there is a special friendship there. That means so much to me.
I hope heaven is treating you well but wish you were here with us. Miss you bro! Much love!

I have a lot of fond memories from Spratley and Phoebus and if I'd known December would be the last time I'd see you, I would have hugged you a little tighter. Rest in peace, warrior. To the family, you had an angel in your midst, now you have an angel in heaven. May God comfort you all.

My prayers go out to all of Boo's family members and friends. He was the portrait of what a good friend should be. I had the pleasure of spending most of my teenage years around him and those memories I will always hold near.
There are souls in this world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them wherever they go. --Frederick W. Faber
Although Boo is no longer with us physically, he left his mark on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Rest in Heaven Boo

It has been a privelege and an honor to have known such a person. I am so sad to have lost a friend here on earth but knowing that I have gained an Angel in Heaven eases that sorrow somewhat. We had some fun times from bingo to shopping and just hanging out at the bar. It was whatever.... You truly will be missed. My sympathies go out to all of William's Family and Friends.

William words can't express how I feel right now. I'm still in shock. Nobody could ask for a better friend than you. You brought laughter to everyone. People that didn't know you wanted to know you. You will live in my heart forever.

I can't believe you're gone brother. I just can't comprehend it. We were out at Nascar no more than 3 weeks ago clowning and having a great time. This comes as a huge shock to me as well as the rest of your friends and family, I'm sure. Your memory will live on in the hearts of those people you touched during the course of your short 33 years with us. Much Love homie!

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

You were taken too early, too young. We've been out of touch a while but I think of you like it were yesterday. You were like my brother those couple of years. My son asks about his "Uncle Will" often. I miss you man. I won't forget you.

You could always make me laugh, even when I didn't want too. We had some fun in our days, I am blessed to have had a friend like you. It's not many people that get a chance to carry the title friend from me,but you were truly a friend to me. I will miss you Boo Boo and your memories will forever live on. Even though you are gone from your flesh, your spirit will always be with us. I want to take this time send my condolences to your family. I want them to know that you are a special person and now you are a angel, watching over them from the heavens above. Heaven is blessed to have you, I can't believe that you are gone. May we all find strength in every tear that falls, for you will never be forgotten! May GOD continue to bless us all!
