Dear Becci,
I am so sorry that you lost your Daddy so quickly, but if it is any consolation in knowing that he did not suffer very long hopefully will help in some way. Wish I was there with you, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I love you, Love Carol and Donald
May God comfort in this time of sorrow. Will be thinking of you.

Becci,
I’m so sorry about your Dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
To the Williams Family, I was saddened to hear of Wades Passing however he is now resting in the pawn of Gods hands, and rejoicing with his love ones gone on before and free from suffering.

i love you papwa! you were the best.
Becci,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Mimi (Millie Bryan – I am her granddaughter) has spoken fondly of your mother and father on many occassions. I remember going to California with Mimi and Betty back in ’92. We had the best time. Though saddened by your loss, please know that your father is in Heaven with your mother and God. I’m sure they are looking down on you with love.
I didn’t personally know Mr. Williams but I still wanted to extend my condolences to the family. In times of loss and sorrow, I’ve found that the bible always provides comfort and hope for the future. One scripture that is very
encouraging is First Corinthians
15:21,22- ‘For since death is through a man, resurrection of the
dead is also through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying so
also in the CHRIST all will be made
alive’.
I will always remember Wade because of his beautiful smile. Not a day passed when I was a little girl that he didn’t come over and see us or bring something from the garden. Becci & family we are so sorry for your loss but Heaven has gained another angel!
