At 24, William already met his wife to be, Emma, while still in school. |
After many years of dating, he got down on one knee and poped the question on Valentine’s Day, 2009. However, they decided to postpone their wedding until 2014 for financial reasons. |

William, who by this time could no longer speak, said “I do” by squeezing Emma’s hand. |
Sadly, William died 11 days after his wedding to the love of his life. |
Life is unpredictable and short, don't take anything for granted, especially love. In the end, love will be our only living legacy... |
