    You were one of my very favorite people on this earth Bubby. The pain of your loss , is almost unbearable, but I know you want us to be happy and make the most of this life… it’s just hard knowing you won’t be here to share it all with. I’ll see you on the other side brother ❤️

    My uncle William was the best man I had ever met. No matter what you had done, or how you were viewed or anything that man gave you the up most respect and kindness that you could ever receive. He lived like no other. My uncle William saved me many times and he didn’t realize it, our hour long talks or binge watching how it’s made helped me. He believes in me like no other has and he pushed me to get things done. I will forever be grateful for the wonderful man that I get to call my uncle. Forever engraved in my heart and forever with me. I love you so much Mr. (So sorry I talk to you so much, but Ik you like it)

    You will be missed greatly! Forever my favorite person, my savior and most of all my father. There’s nothing more I want than to go back and do something to change the outcome but this is what was meant to be. You did so much for people in this world. More than you even know, I remember you telling me in the hospital “I’m not ready to go I have so much more love to give” and I will never ever forget that because now I’m going to make you proud and carry that on and give people the love that you gave me and so many others. I love you forever and always rest in peace guardian angel 🩷🩷
