Thank you for posting the passing of my cousin Willis C Wells. There are so many wonderful memories. He was a kind and loving person who made everyone feel how much he cared.We grew up together and he was close with my brother Jerry Jernigan and cousin Frank ( Sonny) Spivey. We all went to Baker. Some of us starting in first grade back when Baker was grades one through twelve. He will be missed by family and friends whom he loved and loved him as well.Dianne Holt (Brooks) (1959)
Willis was one of my classmates and he was always smiling and friendly to everyone. I will always remember his smile. My prayers go out to his family. May God bless each of you and give you strength and comfort.

I was so sad to read about Willis's passing. We had wood shop together and unlike so many of us who used wood shop as an excuse to goof off, Willis obviously learned something and went on to make a career out of woodworking. My thoughts are with his family at this time.God bless you and rest in peace, old friend.
