Tootie, I'm saddened to hear about Warner's passing. He was a great guy. I'll never forget the fun times we had at Holmes Jones' art class! I think we went there to eat and goof off more than to paint. I so wished he had continued painting as he really had a lot of talent. Take care of yourself and I know the girls will be there for you as well as your many friends. Loved looking at the photos. My, how time flies. Love you, Merilyn

Tootie, Warner was a friend to me in high school when most of his "much older" classmates paid no attention. I have enjoyed visiting with him over the years when Sue and I have visited in Beaumont, sometimes at your home and often recently at your class reunions. We know you are lost now and will be for a time, but time passes and God's grace softens our losses and make them bearable. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God's blessings be with you. John and Sue Morrison

It is with deep sadness that I realize I will not see Mr. Williams again. A wonderful person who did so much for his community and church. I will always remember with great fondness the conversations about birds and wildlife, particularly, that I’ve shared with him. Rest in peace, Mr. Williams. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family.
