Willard Miles Bound

Will Bound celebrated and treasured God’s promise of forgiveness and eternal life in Christ. He shared that with many of us as he sang in the choir and talked over a meal. God’s promises to Will have been realized as God brought him from this valley of sorrow to his heavenly home. We rejoice for Will whose race is now done.
