I grew up playing with Will throughout our childhood. He is one of my four cousins - all boys - that are near to my age. Riding the quads around my Uncle Bill's ranch is a memory that will stay with me forever. While most of the boys tended to be fast and furious on the quads, Will always went slow with the quad when I was riding with him. His gentle nature and kind heart were always evident. He'd slow down and point out animals, or spots he had cool memories at. He even taught me how to shoot a gun (my first and last time - but he was a great teacher). Most recently, he sent me a very sweet message about my dad (and his) - who had both passed away. He has such a sweet heart. I will never forget Will, the memories I have with him or the impact he had on my life - especially when we were just kids, running around and playing. I think of him often and will continue to do so. My heart and all of my love is with my aunt Heike and my cousin Jason.
