Tony, we didn't know your dad very long, but we will miss him. Lonnie and I enjoyed visiting and hearing the stories from his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family . Willie will have a nice holiday with your mom and brother. What a great blessing you and Teressia were to him during his last days.

Prayers for the entire Champagne family. Mr Willie was a strong man who loved his family. But, he adored his grandchildren (Jeffrey,Ashley & Kylie) more than anything in the world. What a wonderful Christmas he will have in heaven. Rest in peace Mr Willie, Ms Betty & Michael. You are all missed each and everyday.
