I reflect back on so many fond memories of spending summers and enjoying delicious meals together with family, I truly feel a huge loss without Willie and family will never be the same! I am so grateful to have been a member of this family. I hold on to the hope and comfort that the resurrection promised at John 5:28, 29 will soon bring to all those feeling the deep loss....
