I'm so sorry for your loss! I never had an opportunity to meet your son Will - but I'm sure he is a very nice young man! Gone too soon! I totally understand your pain because I lost my son Jerome Anderson on October 13, 2016 (7 mos ago). You and I are inducted members of a club that we didn't sign up for! Mothers who have lost a child! Our lives will forever be changed!

Thank you for signing my son's on-line Guest Book - Jerome Anderson. It's my understanding that you went to Highlands High school together and knew each other very well and that he reached out to you when you lost your son, Will. I have peace that they are together in Heaven.

May the Lord continue to strengthen you and your family during this difficult time!

Tomorrow family and friends will gather to celebrate your life and share stories of how wonderful you are! Oh my smiley, happy-go-lucky, handsome and funny little Bernstein Bear you certainly left your mark on this world! I see people come and go, leave messages in the box your mama put out for stories , as I sit and visit uncle, and it makes me smile to know you were loved by many! The emptiness a loved one feels in their heart is almost unbearable at times, this I know first hand, but I know you are wonderfully fine! I continue to pray for your mama & Kaykays, I pray the Lord's peace & love over their broken hearts. Keep them strong, keep them lifted as their job is not done here in this world just yet. Until I see you again Rest in Paradise my nephew! Gone but never forgotten! God bless & surround all your family & friends with his love. Let them. be reminded they are celebrating YOU , no longer mourning a life gone, But a beautiful spirit that has neen set free! I love you nephew and I will see you soon!

Dear Lord, I pray for Angel Parker who has lost her son. I ask that you would fill her with a deep sense of your peace and grace. I ask that you would surround her with your love and hope. Give her the strength to carry on and to know that she still has a purpose on this earth. Lord I am asking that each day she grow stronger in the knowledge of you and how great you truly are.

Where do I start? William will truly be missed! We grew up together. Angel always telling me "no Nicole don't date him, he's a knuckle head" so after being "boyfriend/girlfriend" for a week and trying to give each other that awful kiss, we became friends. So many memories made. the skating rink Mondays, Saturdays, and overnight skates used to be so much fun. I babysat makayla and still to this day call her my little sister. I'm so sad you didnt get to meet my daughter but so glad you seen and told me how cute she was through pictures!! Rest Easy love bug.

Please kiss your mother and father from time to time, to remind them of the good times and how much you treasure them. As you now look upon their saddened faces, reassure them you're okay. We all will love and miss you dearly lil' dub. May you rest in peace.

My grandson, my heart and now my guardian Angel. Words cannot express the heartache I feel right now. This will never make sense to me.
You have one of the keys to my heart and will have to hold onto it until we meet again.
I will always love you with every fiber of my heart. You will be missed so much. Love you grandson.

Melaney Taylor

August 20, 2014

I still can't believe any of this. I loved Will so much. He was my only nephew.
I remember joking and laughing with him and hugging him non stop. Even when he got older I would still hug him like he was two. He would look at me and laugh.
My son idolized his big cousin and always looked up to him.
I will always remember the joys he brought to our lives and the feeling I felt when he was born. I was so happy to have a nephew.
I will never ever forget Lil Will and even though his time on this earth was short, he left his mark in this world and will live in our hearts until we meet again. Rest easy nephew, you will always be missed and never ever forgotten.
