Willie was such an amazing person. its crazy how you can see such a funny warm hearted person almost everyday you drive down your street and then they're gone. He was one of a kind i can't handle that he is gone that we can never talk to him again. He always made us laugh. We miss you so much

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
