My thoughts and prayers are with you Linda, Tamara, Karen and Stephen. Keep God close with you in your time of sorrow. I remember Willie just as if it were yesterday. We grew up in the same comuntry and played ball with each other. Willie was a great man and did all he could do for others. Glory to God another one has came home.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Willie was one of "the good guys." We were classmates at Carolina High and shared many great memories of playing sports together at Carolina. He was a great athlete and a great friend. Willie was loved by all and will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to all the family.

Kindest regards, Truman McCarter

Heaven is richer. Sorrow here on earth but when weighed against the joy he is experiencing, we fall short. Prayers are for the family to get through this time. One day we will see "Willie" again. He and we will celebrate forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Willie was so much fun at our Class of 1958 50th reunion. He wanted to attend even though he's of 1959 Class. I am so glad that we had this "special" time with Willie. May God Bless you all.
