Like "yesterday,"I remember Will showing up at some volunteer program at Timothy where my brother and I immediately harassed him because he came from "another church." But Will overcame that and became such a stalwart member of the congregation we all dearly love. Though time and circumstances drew us apart, Will was always a very special person to me. As you remember Will, (though in my heart of hearts, he remains "Willie"--sorry!) I know that I do too as one of God's great gifts to all of us.

My deepest sympathy to the Sievers family on the passing of Wilbert. I attended Timothy school and church. I enjoyed his singing with the Senior choir. He was a gentle soul on earth with a wonderful voice. Wilbert will be a welcomed addition to the heavenly choir.

Peace be with you all.

I was a member of Timothy and did attend the last service before they closed the early part of this year, my wife Mae and I met Will that day and talked with him for sometime. I could tell he was a very good person from just that short meeting. My sister's ( Regina and Kathy ) also went to school with some of the other Siever's girls ( Judy and Janet )
Deepest sympathy to his family.

Mrs. Sievers,

Our prayers are with you during this time. But we rejoice in your husband going home. Maybe he's located Dad in heaven and is recruiting Dad to join the him in the heavenly choir.

God's comfort and blessings,

Ruth and family:
Susan Franzone forwarded me the sad news about Wil. Not only do I remember him as a beautiful voice in the Senior choir at Timothy, but more importantly, as a mentor when I was in high school and in Walter League. He really DID have an impact on my life, and was a very shining example of what God wants us to be! I know you will miss him, and I send my sympathy. But I also know you will find peace and comfort in being certain that he was received into heaven with open arms! Peace.

Dear Ruth:

My Mom told me of Will's passing. Our prayers are with you at this time. I remember singing with Will in Timothy's choir. Like Sue said, now he's singing with the angels in heaven. We rejoice in that. And, we rejoice that he is now home with his Heavenly Father.

Much love,

Ruth and family,

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear Wil. I remember him as always being a part of Timothy Church as I grew up. Mostly I remember him as a singer, a kind man, a faithful Christian. Please know that you are in our prayers as you grieve your loss and praise his passing to life eternal. I am sure the angel choirs of heaven will welcome him with open arms!

Love, Susan
