Add A Condolence

My deep condolences Joyce, I work with you at the village partnership as the nurse. Allow God to he your comforter.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Willie back when’s it was Telecable of Spartanburg. He was such a kind man. I know he will be missed dearly, but is definitely rejoicing in his renewed mind and body!!

He made watching American Idol 1000 times more entertaining. He knew what singing was unlike most people on the show and made that very clear
