Willie was a Brother and a Father. He was an Uncle and a Nephew. He was a Christian and he was Spiritual. He was a Good man. There are many things to say about him. First, he was a Son, born to Louise Odessa Ray Bishop and Willie Howard Bishop, Sr. on a Beautiful Sunday. He was the fourth and last Child and Third Son. His older Sister, Barbara Bishop Addison Cochran, had already become a Mother just ten months before. Her Daughter, Tammey, was the first of three Children. His older Brother, Stanley, was married with no Children of his own at that time. His other Brother was just seven years older, Raymond, When Willie was born, three of his Grandparents were still alive. His Dad's Parents, Will and Rochelle Walker Bishop and his Mom's Mother, Lillie Rogers Ray Milburn. Willie became the Miracle Child and was the one who took care of our Mom after our Dad died at the young age of 54. Willie was only 13 years old. Willie married and divorced twice - he had a stepdaughter and a son by his first wife and three children by his second wife, a daughter and two sons, the Youngest, Michael, was only ten years old when his Dad died. Willie died from complications of diabetes and heartbreak. His Heart was big and generous and he was a Friend to many. Until he was no longer able to help those in need and became in need himself, he learned who his true friends were. The sorrow he suffered in recent weeks and months were caused by being unable to see his granddaughters. He also learned the week before he died that his ex was taking his precious children out of State. He was unable to drive very far so he would not have been able to see them that often. Willie was such a good person. Never hurting anyone. My sadness is due to the sorrow he had to endure especially from those he had always been so good to. Those people will answer to God. They have no conscience and they don't care about the hurt they have done. But our Awesome God knows the hypocrites by name. I will write more later on when my pain lessens from the Grief. My Brother died because He no longer had the will to live. God know he was a Wonderful Man, A Loving Brother and a Loving Father and a Great Friend. He is at Peace now -f
