My late brother Willard Williams Jr.use to enjoy his Sunday after noon visits with Myrtle. They would sit around and reminisce about the trips to the mountains that he would drive them on.
Your mom had a wonderful personality and a great since of humor. If anyone ever met her they would not forget her.
Kenny Wayne, May peace be with you during this difficult time.
Kenny, I am here for you if you need. Your mom was a special lady. She never met a stranger and if you had a baby in your arms, she would walk right up and talk for awhile.
Just remember, she is with her Savior now!
Kenny we are thinking and praying for you during this difficult time. Your mom was very special. Hold all your memories close to your heart always and we know for certain we shall meet our loved ones again.
Praying for you at this difficult time.
