My heart and prayers go out for you! They say Jesus himself come for the children...be comforted in knowing he is cradled in the arms of Jesus! I know it doesnt take the pain away but know I am praying for you everyday!

Dear Jennifer and Priestly,
I was stunned to hear that Will has passed. Although, I know that God's will was done it does not ease your pain or that of Miles in the loss of a child and brother. I have been so encouraged in my own life by your faith and the courage you both have shown during this very difficult time. Again, my thoughts prayers and love are send to you today and everyday in the future. Love, Sharon, youth programs LC and Fort Story, CDC

Williams Family,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. My Katharine and Miles were in the same class at the CDC so we passed in halls. You were examples to other parents at the center.

Both my girls were so sad. They asked it they could pray for you at St. Mary Star of the Sea School today. Know that all of you are being lifted by the students, teachers and Sisters today.

God Bless and give you continued strength.

The Lewis Family, Frank, Karen, Kristin and Katharine

To: Mr. Priestly and Mrs. Jennifer Williams,

I am deeply sadden to hear of the passing of Will. My condolences and deepest sorrow is with you and your family. When I first heard that he was ill, I immediately begin to pray that God's Will be done in Will's Life. I was really glad to hear that Will had made it to his 6th Birthday.

We may not understand why Will had to leave this earth so early in his life; but I Thanked God for the times well spent with him.

I remember how excited Will was when he had the opportunity to visit my classroom (The Kinder Room)and then again on many occasions when he and Bella would play constantly together. The two were always together. If I saw Will I would also see Bella. What a pair the two of them were.

I will always remember the Good Times and that wonderful Smile Will flashed each time I would see him.

Thanks for allowing him to be a part of my life. I will not forget him!

Please know that; to be absent from this earth means that Will is now present with the Lord. He is no longer in pain and no longer has sorrows. And although he cannot be seen in his physical body, he will be remembered in Spirit, Heart, and Mind.

May God send strength to the Williams Family during this time of Berevement.

From: Ms. Chris Weston (Fort Monroe CDC Teacher)Now in Okinawa,Japan.
