Wil,

I just found out today about your Mom's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with your Mom at Hampton Roads Youth Center in Suffolk. She talked of you all the time. I know you miss her terribly. I found her to be funny and a really good listener. She was a great teacher at the school.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. She is going to be missed.

DEAR WIL,
We were all so sad when we heard about your Mom. We remember her and Rose and you with such fondness as you grew up on Marion Rd Ext. It is so hard to believe you have been gone for 8 years. We will look over the fence that our yards share and see the roses your mom planted and always think of her. May God's Peace be with you at this difficult time.
Fondly, The Anderson-Prouty family

Wil, we have never had the opportunity to meet, but you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was one of the best English Teachers I have ever seen, and it was a blessing to work with her. She was so proud of you.

Wil,

Your Mom was an all or nothing kind of gal. It will be the characteristic we remember best, because she took everyone along with her for the ride.

You are in our family's thoughts and prayers. You only ever need to ask and we will do all we can to help.

Chief Trevino and all the Checote's (Naomi, Kavan, Keely and some you have only ever met briefly)

Wil,
I am so sad to learn today of your mom's passing. I have many memories of Jane laughing and making me laugh as well.
You were her rock and her best friend. When she became pregant with you she refashioned her whole life, from selling her lovely beach condo to thinking of ways to be the best mom.

Now she's in the arms of the angels.
