My son Willie passed away in December of 2019. We all miss him. He was very much the fighter on this Kidney disease. My wife Linda and I were so proud of him for that fight we all went through together. Also hiw he stayed strong and always tried to keep up a positive attitude. My wife, my son, my grandsons and I really miss him. He will forever be remembered. Rest in Peace my son
