Rose, we are sadden to learn of the passing of Willis. We share your sorrow, but because of the Christian faith we can find peace in knowing that God loves us. Even in death, we know that his love is eternal. May God bless you today and all the days to come with the comfort of his abiding grace. Rose and Burkette Raper
