"My William, loving husband, companion, and friend for 26, soon to be 27 years of marriage. William was a gentle giant who loved the Lord and family. William had a way with words and people very close to his heart. William was my protector and my biggest supporter, William believed in me and helped me to believe that I could achieve any and all things if I would just trust God first and then myself. William loved hard and strong and he wanted the best life for us and other families. William would go out of his way to help make life easier for others. I will celebrate your life always and forever", your loving wife Jacqueline (Jacket)
