    Seems like only yesterday that William and I would entertain one another when he was a baby in your home. He had a lot of struggles in his short life; now he can be at peace.

    The crosses we bear make us better people, and as loving parents to William, you are both better people. William must have bore his cross of poor health very well for his short life as evidenced by his smile. Remembering that smile and the love he had for you can help with your loss.

    Sympathy and prayers for your family.

    I have been profoundly inspired by William’s fight , and the love and care you both gave him. A parent’s love is more powerful than all, and your love for William shined brightly by the incredible challenges you had to meet everyday.

    I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of William. As one of his nurses who had the privilege of spending school days with him I witnessed firsthand the love that surrounded him everyday by his family and all who knew him. William touched my heart daily and the hearts of all those who met him. He brought so much joy and light into this world. His memory will forever live in our hearts. Please know we hold you close in our thoughts and prayers
    With our deepest sympathy and love,
    ❤️ Adeana and Vince
