To Uncle Lawrence, Roy (Jennifer), Brenda (Vincent), Gary (Dianne), Haywood, Wayne (Audrey),Chris (Stacey) and to all the extended family and friends of the late Irene Williams Alston, We wish to extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy. I can't begin to tell you all what a loss this is to not only you all but to our entire community. Aunt Rene as we affectionately called her was such a wonderful person to be around. She always made me feel like I was one of her own and I loved her so much for that. Truth be told I loved and admired her so much just for being herself. She was a very strong woman and her faith made her even stronger. We made so many, many joyous memories together that I really can't pick just one to share with you all. However, most of you already know them because you all were there making them with us together. First I say thank God for affording me the opportunity to know her and I also want to thank each of you for sharing your mom with me over the years so unselfishly. Remember that Earth has no sorrows that HEAVEN can not heal. Please find comfort in knowing that she is celebrating her life before our God and she's resting from all of her labor in The Arms of An Angle. Sleep In Heavenly Peace Aunt Rene.
We Love You, Alvelon (Darlene) Williams, Derrick (Stephanie), Lucus (Yollie)
