Not sure what to say?

Uncle William, love you and miss you birthday twin.

I am thankful to God I was blessed with the privilege of servicing as your Class Leader at Bethel AME Church.

My very deepest condolences to the Bates family. May you find peace in this time of loss.

Uncle William, I never heard you complain, even when you we're in pain...Grandma Ruby would say William what's wrong??? And you would always say "Imma Be Alright!" Uncle you fought your entire life, things we take for granted were sometimes a struggle for you at times, but you got up everyday got dressed and fought your fight. I will always have nothing but love and respect for you, Always and Forever!! I have watched you do things able men said they can't do. I'm going to miss us talking on...

My deepest condolences to the Bates family. Mr Bates was a very kind sweet spirit, so glad I had the pleasure to know him.
Keeping the family in prayer.

Sending Blessing to the family, praying for strength at this time to carry you all through.

I am so very sorry for your loss. He was always so kind to me whenever I visited Bethel with my mom. Rest in peace.

RIP Mr.Bates
