Dear Sweet Mr. Williams and Family,
I am so sorry that I was unable to attend the services for Mrs. Williams. You have to know how very very dear the two of you are to my heart. Mrs. Williams was my first principal and was such a wonderful mentor to me. Her precious smile and calm manner still fill my heart with love for her. Later, you had to put up with me, Mr. Williams. Both of you are so loved and helped mold and make my teaching career a very pleasant experience. I am so sorry for you loss. Gosh, Becky, you were just a teen when I worked for your parents and always loved hearing about your adventures. You are all very loved and your parents were such an important part of my life. God be with you all and grant you peace! Heartfelt love and sympathy.

To Chuck and loved ones,
I have always loved Nancy. She was such an inspiration to me in my daily Christian walk. She also, to my knowledge, had never anything bad to say about anyone at anytime. I have been so proud to be able to call Mrs. Nancy Williams my friend. She showed in her later years some real love and adoration for the love of her life, Charles Williams. I attended Sunday School with the couple for several years and I was always amazed at the love shown to Chuck even while at church. She was an amazing lady. Everyone loved Nancy. Thank you all for sharing such a special lady with the rest of us. God bless you Chuck and loved ones.

Mrs. Williams taught me way back in the 50's. Many teachers I have forgotten but she has never slipped my memory. Therefore she had to be a great teacher. Prayers for her family.
