We used to see you at random spots all over McFarland. On your bike, pedaling around with your soccer shoes on. Just doing William stuff. xoxo.

I didn't know you as well as your brother, but you and my Conor shared your talents with the McFarland Hockey organization and your Mom was always so kind and inviting to my son and me whenever I saw Luanne, she always smiled as she mentioned your name, Will. You and Conor are together now, probably playing the greatest game ever up there! Your blond hair and beautiful smiles will be forever engraved on our hearts! And you have a Mom here who will be your best cheerleader as you journey on to your New Life with Christ. Please give my son a hug for me and keep giving us moms the strength down here to live every day keeping your Spirit alive in us!
