WILLIAM
William is the youngest of the children. He is single and has no children. He has been artistically inclined over the years, painting, customizing and sometimes creating jewelry pieces, rehabilitating drums, fashioning variously designed walking sticks, etc. William has always been a free thinker but ultimately the best description of William is a kind and compassionate soul who learned about humility through his gentle and unassuming mother, Faye. He learned true compassion and love as a full time 24 hour 7 days a week caregiver for his bedridden mother in her final days.
WILLIAM ADAMS:
Grandma had come for a brief visit to our Phoenix home, probably in the early 60s. My brother Donald had a very bad nasal condition considerably aggravated by allergies. As everyone was settling in because It was evening and bedtime. Donald started making a terrible racket clearing his throat. He woke Grandma because he was making so much noise. It was like some wild beast. She was in a total panic. She shouted that there was a bear in the house. Poor Grandma, she was terrified. I couldn’t help but laugh and laugh hysterically at my older brother’s embarrassment. But my Mama Faye had to reassure Grandma that she was safe, and that there was no bear in the house.
