Dear Williams Family, So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Williams she was such a wonderful women whom I cherished very much. I am deeply saddened that I will not be able to attend as I am out of the country. I will miss her very much as I am sure all who had the pleasure of meeting her will. May she rest in Peace and I know she will have a Glorious reunion with her loved ones in Heaven. May God Bless and Comfort you. Love David
My favorite memories are from my childhood when my parents, Frances and Harold Harper, would let me spend several weeks each summer with Grandmother and Granddaddy in Rocky Mount.
I was saddened to hear of Mrs. William’s passing, but find great peace in knowing that she is now with her Lord. God blessed her with a full and wonderful life for 91 years and what incredible rewards she must be experiencing right now in heaven. Such a kind and humble servant……the salt of the earth. An example for us all. I will never forget her. Kathy Gerald Harper Stocks
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom always talked very fondly of every one of her children. She felt very much loved. Astrid, Briscoe, Franziska, Gwyneth and Lucie.
