From what I remember of cousin Willie. He was a great man who knew and served the Lord. May God be with him and the family.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions:if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. St. John 14:1-3 (KJV).
