Dear Laura, Bob, John and Mac,
Though Will was taken from this world too soon, it was obvious that he was always surrounded by so much love.. more than most will experience in their lifetime.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you. We think about you guys all the time and only wish that we could be with you on the 15th to celebrate Will's life.
Even though we only got to know Will during his years here in Ridgefield, his sweet and gentle spirit left such an impression and will always be etched in our memory as well as our hearts.
We are certain God has carved out a very special place in heaven for Will.
With Love, Karla, Greg and Gregory Murtaugh
Our family is thinking of you during this time and sending you lots of love, thoughts and prayers.
Dear Laura and Bob, My thoughts are with you. Will did indeed have a profound influence on my life. Will was in my first class as a teacher. There are stressful times in a teacher's first year, but most days, when I had to sit down and write daily reports home, Will would walk over to me, back up and plop on my lap. We would have great "talks". He could always make me smile. He was wonderful. Godspeed little man.
Our sympathies are with you and your family at this time. Will left behind many wonderful memories that will never leave our hearts.
Sincerely, Ms. Debbie & Family
