Angels as Willie don't DIE; they just FLY away.
There will always be a light in my heart for you Uncle Willie.

Dear Uncle Willie,
People are singing about the good things that have done for them.You gave a dynamic performance on this earth. Well done. Thanks for giving me a chance to walk and talk with my Father and for teaching me the lessons that he taught you.I didn't realize that I had been with an Angel and our Family LEGEND until you fell asleep. You will go down as History in my Family book.
Oh! Uncle Willie did you hear the Family clapping in appreciation after I told them that you had...

I am glad my Dad, Ray Nelson, took me to meet Uncle Willie Dec. 2015. He was a nice man. Sorry I didn't get to see him more often. ---Ni'Ray Nelson

I remember Mat took me to his house and he said "You look just like Rosetta (my Mom)." He had a sharp mind. I enjoyed him at the 2015 NELSON-MILLS Family Celebration. He was Happy to be among his family members. This was a valuable time for him and us. I am so glad I came. Thanking God for the time I spent with him. ----Doris

I am pleased that Uncle Willie got a chance to meet my daughter Ni'Ray Dec. 2015 when my Mother, Mat went with us. He seemed so Happy to see us and still remembered me. I will always remember him too. May he rest in peace. --Baby Ray (Ray Nelson)

I used to be so Happy when Uncle Willie used to drive my Daddy here to see me. He continued to come to see me with my sister Mat after my Father passed. Later he told her that he wasn't able to travel long distant any more. I remember how happy he made my husband when he came with Mat to his Birthday Party. My husband thought a lot of him too. I am going to miss coming to Greenville to visit him.

Uncle Willie was a GOOD Uncle and I am glad that he was my Father's brother. I am thankful for All that he has done for me. R.I.P.

To The Nelson Family:
Gloria, we are sorry to learn of Willie's passing. I am one of the White/Greene family members from Sweet Hope Ministries.(FWBC), at Galloways crossroads.
Our grandparents, James(coon) White and Louella White were your cousins.
Your dad, took watch over my cousin, Douglas Morris, while he lived in New York. I often saw im driving or in Family Dollar and would speak to him.
May God continue to keep our family in prayer and we need to stay closer to one...
