Hey Willie sorry I'm late at writing this but better late then never. I miss you and Davo, I won't never forget about that time when I lived in West Palm and we were all by the canal over by the bridge and Sissy & Shannan were fighting about who's going to jump in the water first, and my dumb butt jumped in knowing I can't swim, you were the first one to jump in after me, I beleive if it wasn't for you I might not be here today,so thank you for not only saving my life but for being the best cousin anyone could ever have.R.I.P. We only part just to meet again.

I was watching man vs wild last night and the guy was in the everglades and he talked about you, it broke my heart. Willie, I miss you so much that words can't describe. You will be in my heart and in my prayers forever. I love you. R.I.P.

Willie every time i look at any chair you ever sat in, any glass you drank out of, any bowl you ate out of, Every time i think about how you playfully harrased me. I may not cry on the outside any more but I will always cry on the inside for you. I will see you in the paradise,that is if i can make it to where you were always destined to go.I love you and you will always be in my heart!

I know you are in a better place because you are up in heaven with my dad(William Green) and other family members. I will miss how you never judged anyone, you where friends with ever one no matter of their past.I know you are watching over ever one you knew and keeping us on the right path. You will never be forgotten. R.I.P.

The service for Willie was so beautiful and inspiring to me. All of the stories about Willie were so great. It has made me re-evaluate some of my priorities in life, we never know what tomorrow is going to bring. Willie lived his life with so much joy, fun and happiness for himself and others. We must all remember what really matters in life and cherish our time with our family & friends, just like Willie did. Don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today!

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Allthough I did not know Willie, I have heard of him. My aunt and uncle spoke of him on occasion as a very interesting young man of a high energy and aura. Allthough he is gone his spirit lives on in all of us, within our very hearts, and deep within our souls. I would have liked to meet this young man very much and pray that his family and friends can overcome this tragedy and reflect on the good times of his life. Good luck to all of you and god bless. Sincerly, Richard "Bub" Mahler
