I has been almost a year and the pain of losing you hasnt lessened. I cant listen to some songs now because it makes me think of you. Especially "See you again". The last time we talked was a year ago this month. I still cant wrap my head around the fact that you are gone for good. I miss you and love you.

Prayers to Will and his family at this very sad time. While words cannot ease the pain, maybe the outpouring of love & support can help even just a little bit. RIP Will.

Will you were a great guy and we will all miss you! Rest easy.

Will was a brother in music and a guiding inspiration in my life. Though we had lost touch in recent years, his ability, wit, and charm still seem fresh. Will love him like a brother until I, myself head that way. All my love to the Heaslip family.

Will had such a bright soul and his kindness will not be forgotten.. My condolences to his family. Losing a loved one is unthinkable. Rest easy, Will. I hope you truly did find eternal peace.

So sorry for you loss. I remember him from the time Patty and i went to Maine to visit you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you

Karen and Bill, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved that little guy, he was so mischevious which made him so adorable. I will miss him. God has a plan for him. Love you guys Debbie Habeeb

Karen & Bill,
We are not meant to understand God's plan, but to have faith in it. I hope you find comfort in your fond memories of your son.
love you both,
Ron & Jackie Gillette

I built a tiny garden
In a corner of my heart
I kept it just for lovely things
And bade all else depart
And ever was there music
And flowers blossomed fair;
And never was it perfect
Until you entered there   Nina Ferguson

I am so very deeply saddened for your loss. I love your family, and remember very fondly sleep overs at your house, and my time there as a child hanging out with Will. My heart truly goes out to you. Your all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I can't imagine the sadness you must feel.  I remember William as a sweet, lovable and fun-loving little boy and I'm sure he grew up to be a fine man.  Sending love and sympathy to you.

Dear Healslip Family,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your son and brother, Will. I was fortunate to be one of Will's art teachers at Barron Collier.  I taught him over 12 years ago and remember it as if it was yesterday. I can remember where he sat, what he wore, his love of creating artwork, his talent, his smile and the twinkle in his eyes.  What I remember most is a kind, smart, artistically gifted, witty young man with a great personality that came naturally.   I am very fortunate to say that I was blessed to have Will as one of my students.  
His family and friends are in my prayers. 
Beyond grief comes joyful remembrance.
With remembrance, Pat Montague Smith Art Teacher BCHS

I am so sad for you and your family my dear cousin. To lose a child has to be the most painful thing to ever go through. I know you have a great family and a lot of support to help you. God Bless.

Karen and Bill I can't ever imagine the heartache of your loss. My prayers are with you. May God guide you through these painful days and hold your hands until your comforted! Sending love and strength your way.

God looked around his garden,
and found and empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth, 
and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
He saw the road was getting long,
and the hills were hard to climb.
He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
on the day God called you home....

I love you William, and I always will

While I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Will in person, I have enjoyed being his facebook friend.  His creativity and kindness were so evident in his postings.

My love and prayers go to Will and everyone who loved him, especially my dear cousin Karen and Bill.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember riding the bus to school with him. He was a great kid.I am just beyond shocked from this news. Your family is in my thoughts n prayers.

My heart is breaking , sending you all love

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.  To the Heaslip family, we will never forget memories and the impact William has made for our childhood in New Sweden, from riding on the school bus and out playing at recess. Those memories will always be with us for it is helping us to become who we are today.  He had a great smile and a kind heart.  He will always be remembered. Thoughts are with your family.

William I have no words. You were my friend first and will be my brother-in-law always. Emily talks about you, I think she sees you still. She doesn't want to ring the doorbell because she has to be quiet so you can sleep. I still think you're going to walk out of the room when we are all there visiting. I wish I had been a better sister-in-law but I think, or hope, you know what I loved you. Our lives will forever be empty without you around. We will always tell Emily about her Uncle Will, who taught her how to love Domo and Hello Kitty.

Karen & Bill and family, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.  My heart breaks for you!  You all are in my thoughts & prayers and know that the love of your family & friends will help you through this time.  Deepest condolences from our family to yours.

Will,
As we watch all the sunrises & sunsets we will always think of the love you shared with us.
May God Bless you with love & peace.

Karen and Bill, I am so, so sorry for your loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  My deepest condolences.

Elin

Will was such an amazing person. So smart, kind, talented and good looking. His smile could light up any room. His life was a gift. He was able to bring enjoy to my life that I didn't know before. I will miss his laugh, his voice, his hugs, he gave the best hugs. I hope he is at peace and hope to meet again in our next life time. They always say, the good die young. Will was certainly one of the best.
