He's in the sun, the wind, the air you breathe, with ever breath you take. He sings a song of hope and cheer. There's no more pain, no more fear. You'll see him in the clouds above. You'll hear his words of love. You'll be together before long. Until then listen for his song. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. He is walking in the garden with Jesus. I was standing beside him at Joel Osteen's church when he stood up and accepted Jesus. We had lunch that Monday and prayed over lunch and talked about heaven that day. I bet he's tiling his Manson in heaven. He was one great guy.

Willie was a hard working man and one of the best at his trade. He loves his family just as hard. You are truly missed my friend. Love you!

Willie, your leaving this world so suddenly has brought so much grief to so many. We ask ourselves why. I know you are with my Father in Heaven... and that you are happy and healthy,.... but still there will always be avoid. You will be remembered by me as a really funny guy with a very big heart. Take care Willie Frank...
See ya again one day. Love .. Becky

One thing I loved about Willie there was not a single time in my life that if I ask him for anything... he would do it. He was so respectful to adults when he was growing up (well maybe out of site he was different) He loved his family, ALL of us. Please hug your dad and my mom for me. You will be missed. I don’t have to say Rest In Peace because I know you are. Until we meet again, love ya.

Your Aunt Lynda (respect thing, we were not allowed to call our elders by their first name) I was always proud to be your’Aunt’
