I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not for me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me. II Timothy 4:7-9 Willie B. Bedford was born in love to parents David Bedford, Sr. and Everlina Neal, on August 24, 1944 in Travis County. Willie B.
