Not sure what to say?

Dear Shelley & family. Lee & I wanted to express our most sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family. We only saw you & Will but once a year on our annual Harvest Fair visits with Lynn & Andy, but one thing I took away from meeting Will was his absolute zest for life and unyielding determination to get everything out of each moment. As has been said before, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Shelley,When I remember the day Will pulled up to my house and started to tell me about the cancer,he saw the concern in my eyes and his next words will remain in my heart ......
"I have lived a very full life,seen and done more than most, no regrets, only lots of great memories with my family & friends,most importantly great fun. Enjoy your life and have fun, I did"
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Shelley and family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Will loved his cars, he was the first kid I knew to own a corvette! It didn't have a motor and he didn't have a license. But with all the neighborhood kids pushing he cruised down Benson Lane.....

My heart goes out to Shelley and all the family. Know that loving thoughts and prayers surround you.

Sending my prayers out to Willie's family. I will always remember Willie's fun loving nature. He always had a smile and we had fun joking around when we saw each other. I will miss him dearly. Debby with Syar Industries
