My sincerest heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family & friends. I remember Mr. Willie always trying to fix something. He always had a smile on his face when I stopped by after Mrs. Lorene passed. He told me that I didn't have to call him Mr & I told him my mother raised me to respect my elders. He really loved and missed Mrs. Lorene. I told him she had me spoiled with her cooking. He asked if I knew how to cook or warm up food. I told him both & we'd both laugh. I witnessed over 28 yrs his willingness to provide for & protect his family. He told me that I could be his light skin daughter way back when, Mrs. Lorene, laughed while saying Lord have mercy. Patricia laughed loud & said that means she's my light skin sister. We all laughed. Mr. Willie will be sorely missed just as Mrs. Lorene, the love of his life has been missed. May his soul sleep in peace for his work is done on this side. For the family, I praythat our Father God will wrap his loving arms around each one of you bringing you comfort in the midst of your sorrow. Family please let Mr. & Mrs. Willie Gadson's memories good or sometimes not so good carry you through for you all are a part of their love and devotion. Keep them proud of you. God bless each and every one of you. Peace be still.
Respectfully,
Synthi'a Penn (Willie's light skin daughter) & family.
