I've known Will ever since i was a little girl, i not only looked at him as a friend but as an uncle. Will was a great person and it wasn't his time to go. The day before will passed away my mom told me to call him but i as to shy, so i was gonna call him saterday morning. Friday when i got that call all i could ask myself was why couldnt i say i love you and bye just one more time? I love will and we all know it wasn't his time to go, but i guess god needed him more than we did. Will is such a great person and i will never forget him. Im only 15 and i am Christina hunts dauter. Uncle Will i love you always i will never forget you, please watch over me!

Dear Family,
Will will truly be missed by all who knew him my heart is sad that he had to go so soon. But God knew what was best. I still think back to when we were growing up he would always have a different name for me but he always held a special place in my heart even though we didn't see each other much he was thought about more than words can say. Trust and believe that God will never put more on us than we can bear,He will never leave us nor forsake us. Family lets be encouraged that Will is in a much better place. "Weeping may endure for only a night but...joy cometh in the morning. We Love You Will!

I would just like to thank you for being the one person my children and I could count on. You were such a compationate man, something that is really hard to come by these days. I only regret that I took for granted that you would always be there, that I would always have them strong arms to catch me when I am falling. Baby you are always going to be with Lori, Curtis and I. Just know that in your short life, you touched, and made a difference in ours. I don't think that I could of made it threw these last three years with out YOU!!!!!! I Love you!!!!! Rest in Peace!

Will was a special friend for many years. He will be greatly missed by myself and my family. It is hard to believe that a person so young can be taken so quickly and why?? It is so wrong. Will was a great guy. We will miss him greatly.

To my most loved favorite cousin.
Words can not express how I am feeling right now, but I know you are looking down on me smiling because you are much happier now. I already miss how you always made me laugh or was always there for me when I needed you. Mommy, Keisha and I as well as everyone else will miss you greatly. I love you and miss you. I think of this as a see you later instead of a good-bye!
Love your favorite lil' cousin!
