Poetic Obituaries: In letters from Death Row,

[Cameron Todd] Willingham often seemed thoughtful and introspective, sometimes expressing himself in poetry. He never wavered in maintaining his innocence throughout his 12-year confinement.

"Although I am imprisoned, I am more free than any soul can be," he wrote in a 10-line verse to conclude a letter to his stepmother in 1994.

In a letter to Kuykendall in 2000, Willingham told of enduring memories of his children.
