You have my deepest sympathy & condolences. Even though I knew Mr. Willie for a short time, we had laughter together along with his wife Betty and family. I will say to Mrs. Betty and her family, look to the hills where your help cometh from. It comes from the lord who made heaven and earth." Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal."
