Dear Chris,
I am very saddened at the loss of Willie. But I am more saddened by the fact that I could not attend his funeral. Things in my life are pretty messed up right now. I have asked God to help me sort them out. If there is anything that I can do for you. Please do not hesitate to e-mail me. I am back and forth between SC and Georgia. You and the entire Pace family will be in my prayers.
