Just a quick one to say ...I felt to copy and paste these two pages of posts and send them to Willies wife.
This is her response .

Hello Helen,

Oh my goodness, how this has blessed me today. Thank you so much for sharing these heartfelt posts.
As Taken wrote...feeling joy and sorrow at the same moment.
These are definitely 'a keeper' and I will treasure their memories of Bill.

Blessings in Christ,

I am truly sad and sorry to hear that Willie has passed away. I will definitely be lifting his family up in prayer during their time of grief.

So happy to hear that! Thanks Helen. And yes, we need to find His joy in the midst of our sorrow. We DON'T grieve as the world does but boy, it sure still hurts deep when we lose a brother or sister.

Dear family
I just heard from Willie T’s wife ...our friend Willie passed to the other side not long ago. 3.30pm her time.
Let’s be praying for her as she faces all the things that need doing at this sad time for her. She is doing well and sends her love and thanks for all of our prayer support over the last week or so. Thank you all.

While we can rejoice with the angels that one more of Gods children has finally made it Home ... Yet we are very saddened for our own loss and that of Sue, Willie T’s lovely dear wife.


Willie , you old rascal, you have beaten us Home. Look over your shoulder brother , because some of us are pretty close behind you , so be on the look out for us ...ok.
Willie you will now be full of life like you never known before ...and you will soon know all the correct answers to the discussions on these threads!! :)
Your place in our hearts is a ‘Willie shaped’ hole ...whoever Father sends to us here will have a hard time trying to fill up your boots ...there is only one Willie.
Our hearts are full. No words left.

We will all see you soon dear brother, ‘in a twinkling of an eye. ‘

"Until the Day dawns and the shadows flee away"... .

May Gods peace reign in every heart .
Later my friend, later ....

...from the family here on Christianity Board. ✟

Thanks Helen. Prayers for Willie's wife, family, and friends.

P.S. Incidentally, though we all depart "in our own order", we all arrive together. :)

Helen that was a very thoughtful gesture letting Sue know how people on the forum learned and grew in the Lord through Willie's participation.

I hope Sue and her children can feel comfort and joy for their loving husband and father being received unto the Lord as a good and faithful servant and friend of God.

Thanks again Helen,
God Bless you all,

Taken

I was going to make a thread for this but it looks like somebody already beat me to it a long time ago. Fly high Willie and say hi to Jesus for me and give Him a hug from me too.

 

[April_Rose]

Oh, that is such sad news.

For us,.. not for Willie. Let me just add that I never knew him personally,.. but he always made me laugh on the forums,.. and I'm sure that He's making Jesus laugh right now too. See ya in Heaven someday buddy.

To my Scarecrow in heaven, Willie T.

That was really good was that you singing that? If it is you are really pretty. If not,.. I bet you still are pretty and so was the person in the video. :)

Oh gosh no, that is not me in the video, lol, but thank you for the compliment though! It's twin sisters, Dani and Lizzy. I always loved this song as it reminds me of my mother and sister, I know it is not exactly biblical but it is moving. :)

You're welcome and I forgot to say that Beulah Land is one of my favorite songs and my Grandma and Pawpaw loved it too. Man, it seems like I'm missing Willie all over again. It's just so hard to say goodbye even though I know you're in a better place. This song is for you because of the fact that I currently suffer from chronic pain and so it fits this song both ways. RIP.

 

[April_Rose]

Oh and the pain that he unfortunately suffered here on earth,.. but no longer!!
