For the family of a great man ~

Your son and husband was a great friend and will be missed more than words can express. Through the art of listening Will helped me become a stronger person, inside and out. There is nothing I could ever do in my lifetime to repay him for that. I will honor him every day and forever will he have a place in my heart.

It was a pleasure working with you over the last 2 years. You were always willing to lend a helping hand or explain something that wasn't quite so clear. I enjoyed getting to know you as a person even more. You were so smart and quick-witted, always making me laugh. I will see you again someday buddy.

Willie,

Why God chose to take you so early in life is a question I'll be asking for many years. You were so gifted in many areas.
I am going to miss our talks, from politics to bodybuilding, we could talk about anything. You were a great listener.
To me, you weren't just a co-worker, you were a good friend and I am going to miss you.
Until we meet again.

June 30, 2008

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. I know that your hearts are heavy with pain. God's word is a great source of comfort. At Psalm 34:18 we read - "God is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves." Treasure your memories. You are in my prayers.
