Willy was truly an amazing person, I could talk to her about absolutely ANYTHING! There was no boundaries to our conversations and always gave me the peace to know how to handle everything. There was never a question of " is she telling me this cuz she don't want to hurt my feelings" She ALWAYS told it like it was whether that is what you wanted to hear or not. Sure made me appreciate knowing her! She was a blast to hang with and only wish our bookclub meetings were more frequent!! She loved with all she had and will be never be forgotten .
To Lydia and her family our thoughts are with you as you know she is never really gone. You will be hearing from her again in many different ways. If you need anything please call.

My love and sympathies to Willy's family and friends, I'll miss her warm heart, strong voice, wonderful laugh and the foodie side of her. The restaurants, the recipes and the many home cooked meals that she enjoyed and loved to invite others to share with her.
I will celebrate her life always.
