GOD bless you Jocelyn. You are such a source of strength and inspiration. Sometimes GOD allows us to witness miracles first hand. I'm convinced your journey and Will ' s courage are miracles we can all learn from and appreciate our blessings even more. Thank you for that. Be easy and if there is ANYTHING I can do, say the word ?

To Jocelyn and the girls, William was a true soldier... He fought a good fight, but GOD saw fit for him to be with Him. I know it's hard, but time will heal all wounds. ASK GOD to lead and Guide you all, and give you strength. I will continue to pray for you and with you. But we must Rejoice WHEN someone leaves this earth we must cry when someone is born. So celebrate Williams
life and always remember the good times.

Big Man I am saddened to know that you have left us, I am happy to know though that you are at HOME in HEAVEN with our HEAVENLY FATHER. For all of the years that I have followed UT football you were always on top of my list of favorites. I will keep your family in prayer and I pray that GOD will give them all peace in JESUS NAME.

You were a GREAT spirit!! My parents always spoke so highly of you and made sure I became freinds with Mercedez! I loved coming over to your beautiful and spending fun nights with you all. Those are some of my favorite childhood memories.
I've never forget how welcoming and fun you were. Its obvious that You were a great father.
May your gentle soul rest in paradise. Even though you're not here in the physical world, you're very much so felt in the spiritual! WHAT A GIFT!
I'm sad to say that I can't make it to your homegoing due to weather and icy roads but I'll def salute you in memory.

To My Sweet Nephew,
You were your Mom's (Ella) son, but you were all of her sisters son and now you will join your Aunt Rosie, Aunt Ruby, your grandmothers, grandfathers, cousin, Demetrius, & uncles. Now they will be in heaven arguing over who is going to buy you a car & we know Aunt Rosie will win.
Your light/candle will always shine in our hearts
and you will truly be missed but never forgotten.
Rest In Peace My Angel,
Aunt Janet

My sincere condolences are being extended to the Harris Family. I didn't know William as many of his family and friends, former classmates, and fellow associates, but the few times I spent in his presence was a blessing from God. To walk the earth in the presence of "God's Chosen Earthly Angels" is a joy. He had an infectious smile that will be embedded in my thoughts forever. To his wife, Jocelyn and children, stay in the company of God and in His presence is where you will always find your loved one.
