Lori and family ~ My heart goes out to you in Will’s Homegoing. I cannot imagine the pain and loss you feel, but I know you also find comfort in the knowledge that he is now with Jesus and has a perfect body. My prayers are with you all. With Love and Deepest Sympathy, Alton Connor
Will, an Angel of God in our midst, from whom we learned much. Peace to Will.
I just want to tell you how blessed I am to have been a small part of Will’s life. He was very special to me. Please find comfort that he is for sure running through heaven! All of you are in my thoughts and prayers! Love Melinda
I am so very sorry for your loss. May you find a measure of comfort in the Bible’s hopeful message where it reveals that God’s purpose is to restore the dead to life by means of a resurrection to a paradise earth, where sickness and death will be no more. “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” – John 5:28,29. I hope that you find comfort through the power of heartfelt prayer to God and your wonderful memories during this difficult time.
