It's been many years since I've seen Mrs. Willey, but she was always so nice and friendly. As a kid in Odell, our family bought our meat from her and Fred. She'd save pork rinds for us to cook up crunchy. We got to test the "boloney" or share a thick wiener before mom bought them. They were always fun and made us feel welcome. Son Bill always had fun with us kids, too. Like so many wonderful neighbors, the Willey's were a very nice couple who were a good part of what made growing up in Odell fun and memorable. We'll miss them. To Bill and the family, please accept my sincerest sympathy as you grieve your mom's passing. It hurts to lose our parents, but you know it's time to let them go. You were lucky to have had them as parents.
