So sorry about Willie. I found a scripture I like to share at JW.org, Acts 24:15, “there is going to be a resurrection,” I wish your family the very best for the future.
RIP Wilson. You’re going to be missed by all. You are a good man and loved by many. I had a good life being around you and the rest of the family. Doing farm work and helping with all the farm animals, doing hay, making homemade butter and butter milk also homemade ice cream. Sending love to all of your family. Love you all. Love, Skeet (Marian) .
To Sylvia and family …. We met Sylvia and Willy several years ago at Ives Run campground and got to spend more campouts together as the years went by. Never spent enough time with them to say we knew Willy well, but enjoyed each encounter together! We came to know Willy as a kind and caring man with a great sense of humor, and a quiet mischief about him!
We will miss you Willy and extend our deepest sympathies to you Sylvia and your family. Praying that God will hold you close in this time of loss and sadness.
