Janet, we're so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Sending prayers and condolences to you and your family
I was so sorry to hear of Sister Williams passing. Death is such a difficult thing to have to deal with. We long for the day when death will be no more (Revelation 21:4) and we can see our dead love ones again without any pain or sickness.(John 5:28,29) My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
May the "God of all comfort" 1 Corinthians 1: 3, 4 bring your family much needed comfort through the difficult times. One day "he will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more" Revelation 21: 4 May the future hope that the Bible promises bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Peace and blessings in the days to come.
Jamie, My deepest sympathy for you and your family, The beautiful memories you shared will never leave you, and I hope that brings you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
"Her spirit lives on in the love she gave."
Tracy, Chloe and Hazel
I received one of the best "blessings"in my life when Ruby Williams came to work at the Gaston County Health Department. We worked many clinics together. She was a hard worker, team player and took excellent care of our patients. Ruby loved people and shared her love, laughter, kindness and words of wisdom with our patients and staff. After both of our retirement's, our friendship, mutual respect and love for each other continued to grow. Ruby was so proud of her family loved them beyond measure. We have so many memories to treasure and keep forever in our hearts. I'm so thankful to consider Ruby Williams as my family. Love you always, Ruby. Your family is in my prayers.
Family, Ruby was my dear friend and sister whom I loved very much. We shared some great times. Please accept my sincere condolences and prayers for all of you. Ruby was a very strong woman, she endured quietly.
