To my sister, nephew, niece's and grandchildren: I am so very sorry for your loss. Sorry this entry is rather late but I searched for Will' s Obituary but never got it to come up. He was the BEST brother in-law. Will was a great guy and I will never forget him! He was so thoughtful, caring, generous and funny! I still have a hard time believing he is gone even after 1 1/2 years. He is in Heaven and he's our guardian angel!!! God bless you!! Love,Peg ❤

Sorry to hear of Will's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
