Carolyn, please accept our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are still in shock and will still continue to be here when and if you need us.
Though we only have known you guys for awhile, you guys have been great neighbors. We have gone through 2 floods together, trespassing from crazy people, medical scares but everything seem to work itself out at the end. We will most definitely miss Will and his 2am barbeque, his weed removal late at night when no one could see but him, his handi man skills with unordinary objects and lets not forget his late night lawn mowing. To us he was and will still be a good neighbor, very easy guy to talk to. I cannot say anything that will make it better but We pray that you find peace and comfort knowing that he is with God. And as I've told you we are neighbors and we are here for you when and if you need us.

Much peace,
Alex and Rolando (your neighbors)
