My sympathies and prayers are with the family at this most difficult time. I have known Madeline and Willie since I was a teenager. They are truly some wonderful people.

Sister Madeline,
I am so sorry to hear of Brother Willie's passing! He was such a blessing to everyone he came in contact with. I always enjoyed singing with him, and playing the piano for him at Gospel when he was singing, and leading the singing at church.
He is walking Heaven's golden street, jumping, shouting, and singing praises to our Heavenly Father. Our loss is Heaven's gain. There was rejoicing in Heaven when he walked through those pearly gates.
My prayers are with you and your family!

Willie Lee and I grew up in West Oxford where a lot our parents worked at
once Erwin Cotton Mill (later Burlington Mill). I knew Willie Lee's family and
they were such kind and gentle people. Willie Lee was a year younger than I.
All of us in this community were like family. I never heard or saw anything
negative about Willie Lee. He was kind to all. 
I pray our dear Lord's mercy and peace for Madeline and all the family.
