My soul aches for you, Marsha, knowing that you no longer have your best friend by your side in this life. I am convinced that he was a great husband, father, and friend. His smile really tells me all I need to know about him...no to mention what I heard of his heart and felt of his spirit as I visited with him. I'll be praying for your grief journey and your adjustment to the new normal in your daily life. And, I'll be here to hold your hand...my shoulder is yours to cry upon at any time.

With all my love, Pastor Heather

Marsha, we will miss Willis, but remember the good times. Willis's work during the annual county fair was greatly appreciated. Willis was a friend, a statesman, a volunteer, and we know he was a tremendous husband and father. God be with you and will be in prayer for you and your family.

We met Mr. Beene through Lesa and John at church and enjoyed having lunch with he and his wife. Lesa always speaks very highly of both and has wonderful memories from growing up with her dad. He will be missed.

I hunted with Willis. I fished with Willis. He was a golfing buddy of the highest magnitude. Always a gentleman and quick with a kind word of encouragement to others. He thought so much of his friends and loved his family dearly. He promised me he would be on the tee box of heaven waiting for us, but warned he would have been practicing! I will miss you buddy.. dr. j
