Joe and family, we are sorry to hear about Willie, and we can honestly share in your Grief, not only in Sympathy, but also in Empathy. Grieve with Hope, as we will All be Reunited one day in the Presence of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Joe, our deepest sympathy,She made you happy for many years.Thinking off you,With all our love, Kathy & Chicky

Forever in our hearts. Love Dean, daughter in-law Dianne, grand daughter Dana, grand son- in-law Henry, grandson Daniel, and great grand daughter Brianna
