Thanks, SheRi!

Oh, man, what a loss.  May he rest in peace.  May Sheri and all of the others find hope for the future and strength for this day.  Our thoughts and hopes are with you, love.

I don't know what to say, as I am in shock hearing this.

Sheri,

I am so sorry. We love you. Willie was a good man and I will miss him. Godspeed Willie, and may you rest in peace.

I wasn't done learning from the posts on Willie's Build.

I told Willie on this forum that I planned to go to my first Speed Week event. Willie told me to "Look us up, just look for the white mailbox." I can't do that now. My loss... our loss.

God Speed Willie

  Willie, may you rest in peace.  Sheri, his suffering is over, now we only have you to worry about.
  We all care about you as much as we did Willie.  You are not alone......... stay strong and God bless.
