Willow was one of my oldest childhood friends. We lost contact many years ago and I just happened upon an old picture in an elementary school yearbook. I googled his name and am so sad to hear that he has died. RIP Willow

Heaven has called upon you today,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come,
words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
I was there when you needed a place to stay,
just like you would be there for me night or day.
There have been many times that we disagreed,
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it's time for me to say Good-Bye,
until we meet again in heaven to fly.

Weeping willow stop your tears,
for there is something to calm your fears.
You think death has ripped you forever apart,
but I know he'll always be in your heart.

Although I know that no words can ease the loss you feel, just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:1-3

To the Napper family we send our deepest condolences to you and your love ones. I know his life seemed all to brief but I pray you find peace in all the great memories you may have shared. God is with you and now Willow with him so we all have gained an amazing angel in him. He was a great friend and like a little brother to my Uncle Jimmy I pray him and God have their hands on my uncle Jimmy as he continues to fight for his life. This was a terrible tragedy but I find peace in knowing God knows best!!! We send our love & prayers to you! The Durham-Gammon Family...
