Clementine "Little Flower" Hallie Williams

My dear Clementine, Your father and I never thought we’d have children. We tried and tried, and almost gave up hope. But then you came our beautiful sun.

You lit up our whole world. Every day with you was a gift. Though you were my quiet baby, your eyes were always filled with curiosity for the world around you. I got to hear you say “mama,” when they told us there was a high possibility you might never speak. I got to see your smile light up whenever Bluey came on the screen. It was always your favorite, and I could have sat and watched every season with you forever. The years feel so fleeting now. You went from my chubby little baby to my big girl so fast too fast. I miss you, Clemmy. I think of holding you, of our walks around the park, of pushing you in your favorite swing. I remember holding you close as we bounced on the trampoline with your cousins. There was still so much more I wanted to do with you, so many plans we had. But I never let your disorder get in the way of you having fun.

Despite the seizures, despite the delays to me, you were always perfect. I’m so sorry you had to go through so much, my dear Clementine. You were stronger than anyone I’ve ever known my little warrior, my fighter. Now you can finally rest, though my heart aches for you filled with a pain no parent should face. I will always be your momma, Clemmy. And I will carry your light with me, always.

A celebration of life memorial service for Clementine will be held Friday, September 12, 2025 from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM at Pratt Park, 460 Doster Road, Prattville, AL 36067.
