May the many Blessings of our Lord and Savior be showered on your families during this time of sorrow. Let God be your fortress in which you take refuge, let Him be your stronghold so you'll never be shattered. I pray that God grant you all with the serenity and peace, that each of you need to get through these difficult and painful days. May you all take comfort in knowing that you have an "Angel" in Heaven who watches over you all now. Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel right now, I am truly and deeply saddened and your families have my deepest sympathies. It was my honor to have known such a great person, his kind face remains forever an image in my mind and my heart. Death can never take a good man away, for in the hearts of people he inspired, the legacy remains and continuous throughout generations. After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all I have to hold onto are the happy memories that we shared as Soldiers and friends. This is what keeps him alive in our hearts and in our minds and he will continue to live on, through us. So farewell, I will never forget you, I will pray for you and your families as you prayed for me... May God give you eternal rest, My Brother, My Friend... "Much Luv Always!" "Chat and Family"

Willie, I will never forget playing Dominos with you down at Hazmart. You would turn over that Domino and slam it down on the table and make me jump up out of my seat. May you rest in peace! To the family, may you find peace and know that Willie is with God now. I am sorry for your loss.
