My great Uncle Will you are truly missed. Thank you for being the amazing man you were. I enjoyed my time with you more than you will ever know. Your trips to Florida meant so much to us. Our dates at the track, our dinner dates and walks on the beach looking for that special palm tree with Aunt Dot’s and your name on it will never be forgotten. I am truly blessed to have shared this time with you and I will never forget you.
Love always,
Chrissy
