Jewel and family, words cannot express the sorrow I felt when I heard of Willie's passing. I am still in disbelief. Comfort yourself in the knowledge that when Christ comes again, all those whose believe and know that He died for our sins, will see their loved ones again. I know this loss is especially hard here at the holidays, but trust that God makes no mistakes. He is always in control and He will surely see you through this time. My prayers for healing for you and your family. Yours in Christ, Traci (Truck) Hewson
