Willie i will miss you very much, I was so sad to hear that you'd passed and i didnt have the chance to tell you how much i cared about you. Gone, missed, but never forgotten. R.I.P I know my God is taking good care of you now.

June 14, 2011

I just smile for the first time since I heard of your passing. I smiled because of the picture posted in your obituary where you are sitting at a desk leaning back with that look, That look I have seen so many times when you had something on your mind or when you had something to say. I remembered how funny you were. I am so happy to have known you and I am so very sorry I did not get a chance to say goodbye. I know you are in the arms of the good Lord and one day we will meet again. I know you are one of GODs best angles,I miss you so much dude. I will never forget you. Mr. and Mrs. Gallop, Langston, I am so so sorry for your lost, I will continue to lift you up in prayer.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet white doves in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night."
