We have many wonderful memories of "Uncle Willy" and "Auntie Marilyn" growing up. Even though you were not our "real" Aunt and Uncle, you were always loving, always concerned, and always there for our parents, Bob and Barb Armor. I know my parents have missed you being a part of their lives since they moved from Irwin several years ago; But, you have remained in their thoughts and in their hearts, and will continue to do so. God bless you and keep you, Uncle Willy. And, God bless the entire Fawcett family during this difficult time.
