Wings of Hope:
A message from Cindy Willows:
Thank you to all of our friends, family and people we had never met for being part of the 1st Annual Willy’s Wings Walk/Run on Saturday May 3, 2008!
The day was a great success and I was speechless, which for those of you that know me that does not happen very often. It left me with a great sense of pride as I watched Willy and my dream become a reality. This is dream that we will be able to share together forever. Willy’s Wings has taken flight and we are excited of the opportunities that lie ahead.
The morning was cold but that did not keep you from coming out to support us and that is a great feeling. The day started off early with registration, memories shared, tears shed, visiting with old friends and making new ones. A great group of people there to support a wonderful cause.

It is in loving memory of Dean Willows that Willy’s Wings has been created.
Dean “Willy” Willows was so much more a man diagnosed with Melanoma - The Beast. He was the most wonderful, loving, caring and devoted husband and a loving, warm hearted, hands on dad and step dad. He was a caring and loving son and brother. A true mentor and friend to many.
No words have been spoken so true as to say to know Willy was to love him. His caring and giving personality set him apart from so many. Always putting everyones needs in front of his own was first nature to him. He had the most amazing attitude and spirit, even when faced with a terminal diagnosis. He was a man of many talents. He was the life of any gathering, the comforter, the realist, the thinker, the protector, the peacemaker, the joker, the helper, the list is endless. He was just one of those one in a million men outstanding men.
Known by many as “The Legend” he left a legacy behind that will carry us through life until we are together again. Our very special angel watching over us from above.
