“i would like to say to the little people in this world who are moaning about the respect that other people have to take time out of their lifes to grieve such a lovely young man that i have known for so long who has touch peoples hearts in so many different ways. I think some of the messages are heartless and shameful and the people who wrote these should be ashamed of themselves. I personally do not think it is harming anybody because it is on the main road, for those people who do not like to look at it then DON'T simple really. It not just a reminder for family and friends, it also a reminder for the cruel people out there commiting these sorts of crimes.Lastly i would like to say thanx to everyone who supported the family and may i add what a great turn out yesterday was Will would of loved it.”

“To all of you who have taken the time to read, and leave comments on this site, I would like to firstly introduce myself as William McNaughts perfectly literate Aunt!
My nephew was killed on 09th May 2009. We have since that date, had an extremely long, and very traumatic wait for the Coroners reports to be completed, and Williams body therefore to be released for burial or cremation.
This was only granted to us last Monday, and his funeral will now go ahead tomorrow. Both Williams Mother and myself have, on several occassions attempted to remove the "shrine". However, William was an extremely popular young man, with very many friends. As he was only 24 years old, his social group have responded to his death by grieving as, and when they feel the need to be close to him, at the site where the incident happened. Many younger members of our family have telephoned me in floods of tears this evening, the eve of Williams funeral, to tell me of the harsh and cold comments left on this site. I am a great believer in letting fate take its course, and all I can add to your comments is, the shrine WILL be removed as soon as we have recovered from the funeral. As for those of you who have chosen to be so unsympathetic toward my family, and who so obviously feel you are "above" our kind, I sincerely hope that you never find yourselves in our position, although, I feel that people like you cannot possibly be so cruel without you receiving some form of recrimination for your acts of heartlessness. I wonder if you will oblige us in the forthcoming months with your tales of your own tragedies and justly deserved misfortunes?
In a world where so few people take the time to care or show kindness towards others, may I thank those of you who have, from the bottom of our hearts. Please do not allow these few inhumane, society misfits to mask the reality of the human heart! Those of us who knew William, and know us as a family, are all that matters. We have been overwhelmed by the wonderful way in which we have been comforted by Williams friends, we have every reason to be very PROUD!
So, may I kindly request that ALL Abbeymead residents who have any hurtful or down right rude comments, possibly refrain from upsetting my family any further?
I am truly sickened by what I have read here tonight, and very ashamed to think that members of a community in which I have mixed and socialised for many years, could treat their own town youngsters in this way.
May God take pity on you, as I know I have!
Rest in Peace my Dearest Nephew.
