I was very honored to have Will serve as my Godfather. When I was little, I called him "God", which of course he didn't correct. I remember games of tag with him as a child and later, he married my husband and me. I will never forget this amazing man and special servant of God. We love and miss you "God"!

Will was my first Cousin.We played together when we were very young. He was a very positive and special person. Davidson was his family and his home.

Will was the son of my 5th grade teacher Laura Holt Terry. She spoke of Will often and I'm sure she was very proud of him. His wonderful traits came from his dear mother who made everyone feel special.
I'm sorry for your loss.

But for his compassionate and loving direction, who knows what path I would have taken. I feel that the world's median for all that is good has been lowered. The blessings he gave to all, and the memories we hold dear are unwaveringly eternal. Our deep grief will lessen in time as we all remember him fondly. The Lord has a welcomed him graciously into the palace. Goodbye my dear friend.
