She told the congregation: “The world has lost a very able young man who had a lot to give not only in terms of his career but to others whose lives he touched.
“Will was one of life’s nice guys. Granted he could be annoying, but can’t we all. Will was always, even as a very young child, kind, generous and thoughtful.
“Will really did care about the world and other people. My brother was unique and the world is a sadder place without his wit and charm.”
She told mourners that William was a talented young man with a rebellious streak who spoke fluent French, Arabic, and Spanish.

William suffered multiple stab wounds to his back and neck.
