Always remember as the scripture says, "TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT TO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING, IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH." Rev. Virginia Garner Platts and Dec. James L. Platts from Mt. Olive Baptist Church and Classmate of William.

To Yvonne, Children and Family:
May the anointing 0f the Lord be upon you now! May it bathe, heal and strengthen you as never before. Allow God's power to touch your hurting places. Remember there is something about going through dilemas and Crises that lets us discover things about God that we would not have known under any other circumstances. I pray that God gives you all a Peace that passes all understanding, I pray that you'll have the anointed Peace and Strength. I pray that you continue to believe that God's Word is true and that all things even the hard things work togeher for good, because you all Love God, and so did my cousin William (Hammer).

To Yvonne, Children, and Family:

I was saddened to learn of the transitioning to his new home of my high school classmate (Bonds-Wilson High Class of 1969). Attending our 40th class reunion in May, 2009, it was a delight to greet William and Yvonne there. It is my prayer that you have lasting, loving memories of William. I pray you will find comfort and peace while remembering special family moments you shared with William. God’s blessings and comfort will blanket you.

Assured of Your Love

Steadfast God,
as we experience
a season of change in our life
a time of hellos and goodbyes,
a time of questioning,
a time of sacrifice,
allow us to move
through each season
assured of your love
and strengthened in faith.
Amen.
