Hello, Vicky,  
Jim asked me to write you the following.  
"I am truly sorry you have to suffer the loss of your son."  
Jim lost his son in April, 2012.  The experience has no comparison.  
May you know the comfort of God holding you in the palm of his hand at this time.
Our sincerest condolences, 
Jim & Cathy Blaylock

William I love you and will always love you. You have such an amazing impact on my life and taught me so many things. We went through crazy times and you stuck by my side. You always took care of me and cooked me Mac n cheese and chocolate milk. You were my best friend. I will never forget you and all the wonderful memories we shared from teaching me how to play pool to teaching me how to work on cars.... Well kinda(;  I love those beautiful blue eyes and those super crooked teeth. Even though you were taken too soon you were the greatest blessing in my life and I have an angel watching over me now. I know you loved me and I can't wait to see you again and give you a huge hug and a big kiss and we'll ride on ice queen and listen to music and be in paradise together. Thank you for everything you've done I love you williambear Watch over me and Tyson  - you're squirrel eyes

My sweet Will. I only knew you as a little boy. You moved 9 years ago from my life.  However, Jessie always updated me on your life when we talk. Life's shorter than we expect. Always say we have time to catch up but time gets away. Wish I was able to visit you and get to know the young man your grew to be. Will forever miss you but will always remember you.

To The Howe Family,

Words alone cannot express the shock, disbelief, and sadness I felt when I heard the news about William.  My condolences to you during this time of great sorrow.

I only really got to know William the last couple of years before the family moved to Georgia. He was always a really funny and nice kid. He was definitely fun to spend time with. I'm so deeply sad for the entire Howe family and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Praying for your family during this hard time. Will was such a great man and this tragedy hits hard for many people who held him dear. It's still hard to imagine this is even real. He was taken far too soon.

To the Howe's - my deepest sympathy. Please know that you are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Dear William, 
I never had the honor of being in your life.  It would have been so wonderful to have heard you laugh,watched you play pool or eat one of your custom made pizzas.  But the greatest honor of my entire life,  was to hold your head and talk to you non-stop until the paramedics arrived. I will never forget your face.  I was blessed to meet your family, friends and co-workers at the roadside memorial.  It was surreal to be gathered on a curbside that was covered in flowers, to honor a wonderful person, you.  I will be forever connected with you, even though you never met me.

To my neighbors, the Howe's.  I live on Weatherstone Pkwy. and always heard or saw William pass my house, morning, noon and evening.  I enjoyed seeing him riding his bike, and guessed he worked nearby.  I did worry that I did not see him since the accident and prayed he was not involved, but did not know his name until today.  My most sincere sympathy to his family for this tremendous loss.

I love you my sweet brother, I hope you knew that. I'm counting on you to protect your nephew.
