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. ❤️❤️
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.
To Gladys Earl and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. William was always so good and pleasant to me and my girls when we lived by each other and whenever he saw me he always asked about them. Love you and your family.
My condolences to the Family, I'm sorry for your loss.
