Claudette, I was very sad when Chris called me with the news of Willie's passing. It has been many years but I have thought of the two of you often. The four of us shared many good times. Please know that you are in my prayers and rest assured in knowing that Willie is in a good place. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Be Blessed, Renee & Morgan Gaines

To My Aunt Claudette, may God keep you strong and give you the strength to go on; knowing that Uncle Willie is up there smiling down at us and he is okay and in God's hands. Uncled Willie was one of my favorite uncles and he will forever be in my heart. I will never forget how wonderful he was as a person and my uncle.

To my Aunt Claudette and family,
I will miss Willie. He was always cheerful and made you smile. I'll always remember his "hello" when he answered the phone, even when he wasn't feeling well, that greeting would make you smile. I smile now when I think of him. God bless all of you.....Love Karen and Felix Sr.
