So very sorry for your family loss; May God comfort you with His infinite love and care. Love and Prayers, Treny Brown
A life is measured by the deeds, service we convey to others, and more importantly family. William Bryant, Sr, walked this earthly realm for 85 years. We know him as a son, brother, nephew, cousin, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great grandfather, friend and a believer in Christ. He was one of a kind and leaves treasured memories for all who may have had the pleasure to have crossed his path.
To Thelma and family though there is a void in your lives for his physical presence, rest assured that the spiritual circle of life allows that we all shall meet again. So very sorry for your loss.
