It's always hard to say goodbye to family and friends. It's even more difficult when the person is such a great individual as Mr Willie. In the short time I have known him, he embraced me as family with no hesitation. I have nothing but respect and admiration for this great man. He will be in my thoughts for a very long time.

Dear Willie, knowing you was an absolute pleasure. You along with your wife, mom Gloria opened your heart, family and home to me when I was just a teen. You helped mold me into the woman that I am today. For your kindness I am eternally grateful. You have touched my life in ways that you don't even know. It was a pleasure knowing you Willie. I am so sorry that my kids never got to meet you but they hear me talk about papa Willie often. Rest in peace, dear friend and foster father. Rest assured that mom Gloria will be taken care of. Love you Willie, your foster daughter, Joyce.
