My condolences to Willie’s family.
Willie was a great friend the last few years of his life. I met Willie in 2018 and had the privilege of studying the Bible with him. Willie had a love for the Bible and wanted to know more about Jehovah God and the Bible. Willie had a good heart and was always helpful with everybody he met. It was a joy and an honor getting to know Willie and we enjoyed many deep conversations.
As Jesus said of his friend Lazarus that he has fallen asleep at John 11:11, so also, Willie is asleep and the next time his eyes open he will have no more pain or sickness (Isaiah 33:24).
Acts 24:15 reads “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
There IS going to be a resurrection and I look forward to seeing Willie again in paradise!
Rest well my friend…
Rest in peace Willie. Will and Anthony, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love your cousin, Tina
