  1. i miss you grandad. i know you watching and protecting us all from above. theres so much i wish i can still talk to you about. time is going by and its going pretty quickly. you will be very proud to see the man im becoming. i can hear you telling me how good im doing and no matter what just keep going. i love and miss you grandad.

  2. The day is coming up, that changed my life forever. You were the rock, the light, the joy, and most of all- the greatest Father & Grandfather a daughter could ever be sent in her life. God knows how much I miss our talks, laughs, and how real you always were no matter what came your way. You taught me so much about life, and gave the best advice when I needed it at my most challenging battles. I am proud to continue teaching your grandchildren your legacy. You are forever in our hearts. Love you for eternity, we miss you dearly. You will never be forgotten. I light this candle for my father , Willie E. Young , in loving memories that I shall cherish in my soul. Thank you for always loving us and telling it like it is. No one could ever replace you, or erase what you built into our family. Hard to accept that your not here , I know your watching over us, and yet I smile because -I know you’re in a better place. Love you always, from your daughter Leomia!

    • Hi Vicki!!!
      It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen you! How are you? I hope all is well.
      Not sure if you remember me? I just wanted to say hello to you and it is very nice to see the love for him. I miss him so much, this has been very hard for me and my children without him here -to be the love, guidance, that was so real & pure. It’s not the same anymore for sure without him here to get things in order, and teach his wisdom with his strong belief in family. He always spoke truth, never sugar coated , and he had no fear. I learned how to be strong from his knowledge he shared at any time. He always spoke highly of his family/siblings and roots from being from the south!!! His legacy will continue to be carried on and I will continue passing down what he taught me to generations. It still feels like yesterday when he would play his old school music when he drive to be exact, one song he loved to play loud is by- Al Green “How do you mend a broken heart” , we still have sleepless nights just like now, me and my children sit and talk of all memories we had with each other. We miss you grandpa, We love you. Hello to all family and friends that are here showing love , thank you so much. Great to see you Vicki, and to be honest this is very hard to accept that he’s gone. I’m doing my best to keep it together but no this is truly unbelievable. Hitting us hard truthfully.

  4. Willie was such a good step father he gone be miss he gone always have a special place n our hearts
