    I'm not the most religious person, but I marvel at how it can be leaned on in tough times like this. It's wonderful to see him so strong after such a horrible accident.

    yeah, I'm not a religious guy, but I really liked the sentiment in the "things are only lost if you don't know where to find them" line. that's huge. if I wasn't so damn tough and strong and stuff, I might have teared a bit there.

    It's a super positive mindset, which I find absolutely amazing. I couldn't be in that state of mind if I'd lost my wife.

    How Williams can keep his composure is...well, words certainly can't describe it. That and asking strength for the other parties involved too.

    I'm not a believer at all ... Truth is his wife is gone forever ... at least her "murderer" died too

    If he can feel better by having faith , it's good for him and his children though

    I'm almost entirely on board with this sentiment.
