Dear Marjorie and family.
It is hard to understand why life is a mystery. I understand your loss. Willie was always willing and ready to help anyone. Know that God has a special place ready for him, and he is now visiting with with his army buddies and his Bro. Knights and probably playing dominoes. Your family is very special to me. May God's peace be with you in this time of need.
All my love.
