Dear Father, 

I once told you, when I was a young man, that I didn't know what I would do without you in my life one day.  Decades passed, people entered and left our lives, my occupation took me abroad and I grew mature as you grew old and feeble.  Although we became very different people I always paid attention to your advice and suggestions. I know that you did the best you could do raising me, and I shall miss you every day. I now know what I will do without you. I will appreciate the quality time I had with you.  May you walk the streets of Glory in a brand new body!  Love you, Tracy.

WT, your church will miss you but Heaven is singing with it's new arrival. May God bless you and your family.

Dub, your were married to mom.  You always loved her so. I wish we stayed in better touch.  I always loved u . I cherish all the memories of my childhood with u and the boys. Tracy and me riding our motorcycles you bought us. Teaching me to dance as I stood on your feet as a young girl. Fishing g trips. Hanging out the back window of that stationwagon. Holding shayne as a baby and he always got your cigars out of your pocket. Tracy and I use to camp out in the living room and sleep on the pool table. Going to your father's an learning about raising rabbits and frying them. Great memories of  my childhood. Love u . Rest in peace sweet  man.

This breaks my heart.  You're truly going to be missed WT.  You left your mark at GWVH.  RIP sweet angel.  Love you!

Uncle WT, thank you for loving us and for being a surrogate grandfather to me. I will cherish the memories of visiting you and watching you sell fresh fruits and vegetables, listening to the stories of childhood on the farm and enjoying your company fishing. Ricky and I will miss making new memories with you.

Paw Paw,

Thanks for all the memories and teaching me so much about farming.  I will always remember sitting on the counter of your fruit stand eating everything I could touch as a toddler.  I will always miss the fishing and stories.  Love you!

We Love You!!! Thanks for all the trips, Church, fishing, lunches, and Milkshakes!!! We will surely miss you!

I regret that I never had the privilege of knowing WT. Who  I do know is the family that that surrounded him  in love, with compassion, kindness and selflessness. I have learned so much from you all, without you ever knowing that you were my teachers. You have been and continue to be witnesses for me of who Christ has called me to be.
I pray that the Holy Spirit fills that empty space in your hearts with comfort and peace. Love and blessings, Judith

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of sorrow.  Find comfort in knowing W.T. is in heaven.
