To the Drayton family you have our condolences. I have always known willie to be a person of laughter, when willie and I meet there was a personal greeting we had for one another "he would say to me hey Jose Daughter" and I would say to him "Hi Willie with you big belly" I know he will be missed by all that knew him. we will keep the family in our prayers. be strong in the Lord as you go through.
