Connie;

Many are the memories over the years being my cousin from Warsaw. Visits to Grandother and Granddaddy Pemberton's, you coming to our house on the farm after Christmas, anniversary on the boat, too infrequent visits there, meeting Willis, shared Christmas cards make for great memories with your family, with like names of our children Betsy and Lenny. We think of you often, share in your loss and love you lots. Betsy and Lenny and Raleigh

I offer my condolences to the family. There is so much I could say about Willis who helped me in many decisions I had to make as a boy growing up in Warsaw. He was a roll modle and a friend. God Bless.
