Sorry for your lost. He was a man of God. No more pain resting in the present of Jesus. I always admired how you and he showed your love for each others. ❤️❤️

Florine Jones

What a great loss!! William was a man of faith who love God and His Word. A prayer warrior. My car wouldn't start one night in town. William and Gladys stopped to check on me. We raised the hood, William laid his hands on the motor and the car started right up. What a wonderful opportunity for my faith to grow and for the three of us to praise the Lord.
