Boyz to Men said it best when they put pen to parchment and wrote these heart felt lyrics: " How does this family say goodbye to what they had; the good times that made those special to William’s laugh, will always outweigh the bad; his children, mother, father, family and friends thought they’d get to see forever, but since this past Wednesday forever has gone away.....it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday”
