My dear sweet Papa. Thank you for all of your love , protection & advice throughout the years . You've been a light in many people lives, and hundreds I know have changed because of you . Thank you for being just who God made you to be. We love you forever.

I have never met a finer person in my life. Willie and his family were professionals that took care of my yard and flowers. Flower seeds that Willie planted still bloom. I miss him already. He was a personal friend of mine and every one in my Tallahassee neighborhood thought the world of Willie. He was one very special man that I admired so much for his kindness, his faith in good, his humor, well, everything really. I was so lucky to have met him. Save a place for me Willie, I will see you soon. Mr. Baron says he misses you too, so much.

My deepest sympathy 💐

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
