Aunt Theresa and the entire Lopes Family,
I was sadden to hear of Uncle Willie's passing. When I think of Uncle Willie I think of Shaw's Market , where we would always run into each other and would stand in the isle and talk. I also recall wonderful visits to Martin St. with my mom. Uncle Willie will be missed , but not forgotten. God Bless, Love Terry
Our Deepest Condolences to you and your family.
