Not sure what to say?

Kathy,
Your loss must be great. Although I never met Will, he sounds like an amazing person. May you and your daughters, and family members take comfort in your warm, happy memories of him.

Will will forever be in my heart and soul. He was a tremendous human being, a light for many to follow. I will always remember him and how he guided me on my path. His courage and strength was immeasurable and he will always be remembered as one of my cherished friends. Thank you Will for your self-less service and your ability to mentor and show me a way out of darkness and pain and into the light. Anonymous

Willie, Kathleen, Melissa, Colleen and Whitney will always hold a very special place in my heart as many of my teenage memories involve them. From neighborhood block parties with lots of food and fireworks to assisting Willie coaching one of Melissa and Colleen's championship soccer teams and many, many hours spent laughing and playing with the girls. I was lucky to grow up next to such great people and have them in my life. Thank you Willie and Kathleen for trusting me with your precious...

With a heavy heart and a deep sense of gratitude my thoughts and prayers are with you. Will had such a way about him. Helping so many, loving so much of this world, friends, and especially family. He is greatly missed and truly cherished.

So sorry to hear of Will's passing. Great guy, great person. He will surely be missed here in Wine Country.
