Happy 21st birthday Will White



2019-05-29 - Columbia, KY - Photo by proud Mom, Jane Todd.

Happy 21st birthday to Will White who is working third shift as we speak. I remember when he was born, when he was in his bouncy seat at the kitchen cabinet, when he drove his little trucks in the gravel driveway with his Mamoo standing by, when he was the big brother to little cousins in Shelbyville, when he got his drivers license, his high school diploma and when he started a very hard job that sends most people packing - he did it all with his trademark smile and patience with everyone around him. As my nephew turns 21, I wish him continued blessings of safety, health and joy every day in everything he does!!! - Aunt Linda
