Stephanie, Brandon and Sean,
I was so terribly sad to hear of Will's passing. Duane and I were so sorry we didn't find out until yesterday, and that we weren't able to be there for you all. Will was such a wonderful person, so full of life and love for his boys and you, Stephanie. Duane and I listened many times, to him talk about how much he loved his boys and how proud he was of them. Stephanie, when you
Stephanie, Brandon and Sean,
I was so terribly sad to hear of Will's passing. Duane and I were so sorry we didn't find out until yesterday, and that we weren't able to be there for you all. Will was such a wonderful person, so full of life and love for his boys and you, Stephanie. Duane and I listened many times, to him talk about how much he loved his boys and how proud he was of them. Stephanie, when you came into his life, he truly found joy and love and learned a sense of calm and peace. We were so happy for him. Although Duane saw much more of Will at work, we spend a lot of time together riding motorcycles, and just hanging out. We will miss him very much. Please know that we will have you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Feb 12, 2012 was 3 years since our daughter, Bridget, passed away, and we felt our world crash around us. We thought we'd never breathe again, or ever get past the pain of the loss. But, God heals us a little more every day. Now, on the day of her passing every year, we celebrate her life and the joy she brought to ours. I pray that you will receive God's healing touch and be able to look back on Will's life and the memories of all the wonderful days you had together. The day will come when you will wake with a smile at the wonderful memories of William, without the pain of his loss, that feels like your heart is being crushed. Remember his love for you all and know that he is finally at peace. His struggle and his work on this earth is over, and he will be watching over you all from above.
With much love and heartfelt condolences,
Margaret and Duane Modisette
Sorry for the late memory, but I found out today about Will's passing. Will was a great guy at work and away from the console. Loved Will's passion for life and his professionalism on the L4-L8 Poly console.
Though sometimes we feel powerless to change circumstances in our lives, it is comforting to know the Lord is in control. Please know I am praying for you and your family.
