Willie was a dear heart, and a beautiful woman. Jimmy was a blessed man for being her companion. Rest well, Willie. :cry:

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

They say behind every good man there is a GREAT woman. Willie was better than great. She will be sorely missed but in a far better place now. Peace be with you Jim.
