Our Momma loved our Daddy so much and has missed him since he moved to Heaven. What a reunion day up there. She also loved her family and church-family. She was a member of FBC Williams for seventy-seven years and a member of the church choir all of her adult life until she became ill. She liked to take pictures, make videos, go on church trips with daddy, loved music and liked to go to the Golden Saw on Friday nights. She also loved to shop and buy things for other people especially her family. She was a blessing to us. We will miss her-mom, grandmomma, sister, and friend. We say good-bye and see you later. Flowers will be accepted or memorials may be made to FBC Williams Daycare Playground Fund.
