Mary Goldsmith

In loving memory of James Earl Williams, a man of quiet strength and steadfast love. James stepped into our lives over 30 years ago and he married my beloved mother, Virginia Williams, and from that moment on, he became so much more than a stepfather he became family in every sense of the word. Losing someone who's been a steady presence in your life for so many years leaves a deep ache. His presence was constant, his words thoughtful, and his heart generous. Though he has left this world, the love he gave and the life he lived remain etched in our hearts. May he rest peacefully, and may we find comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain.
