L C Mullins wrote a sympathy message

“For more than 36 years Willard inspired our Solid Rock class at the Donelson Fellowship. Because we did not know of his passing, we couldn't attend his Celebration of Life. Willard and Billie were consistent examples of how Christians live. One of his favorite quotes was "Pray Believing", and I follow that advice when I pray in fervent gratitude for having Willard and Billie in my life. Linda Mullins”
