To a great friend and brother in the Lord, Willie you will be greatly missed! To the Cates family in your time of bereavement, you have been a part of my life for many years. Take refuge in God's comforting arms, and as you do, remember I'm praying that your hearts will be soothed and your spirits restored. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. Psalms 2:12(NIV)
