Dear Marianne, Patty, Art and the entire Williams family.
It is with sadness the we have had to release our loved one to the Lord. Helen. was a wonderful person and mother. She will always be remembered in our hearts,
We remember the times at Mt. Olivet with Marianne in the choirs, the girls guild, the sleep overs and the trips that Helen allowed Marianne to take with us to help Rogena when she was in medical school.
My God be with you during this time of bereavement.
Vera, Rogena, Rodney and Veronica Miller

Marianne and Family,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Williams. I will forever cherish our wonderful telephone conversations and home visits when I was calling or visiting Marianne. She was always able to give me insight into world issues, or any topical issue we would find to share.
A woman of beauty, class, grace and strength, she is an empowering spirit for all who were blessed to have known her.
Thank you, Mrs. Williams, for sharing and laboring in your calling to help make all feel warm and highly regarded. We are blessed to have been allowed to enter into your fellowship.
Take your rest. It is well-deserved.

To Art, Mariane, and the Williams family:
My sincere and deepest sympathy to all of you but especially to the two of you who I know personally. Your mother always greeted me with a smile and often talked with me when I visited Mrs. Kathryn Terrell at Blossom. I saw her last Thursday morning and I know now that was our last visit. I was surprised she remembered me after so many years and I am glad to have known her. May the love of your family and friends carry you through your grief. And may God grant you peace and comfort as you celebrate and remember her life.

To Mariane and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss and will always treasure the memories of having known Helen and Art!!
A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that Helen brought you did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.
Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal you. The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness you shared, will make you strong. You'll come to realize that your time together, no matter how long, was meant to be, and that you were blessed to have such a precious gift of love in your life.
Keep your heart beating with the loving memories, and trust in your faith in God to guide you through. Know that though life moves on, the beauty of love stays behind to surround and embrace you. Your loved one has left you that.... to hold in your heart forever.

Aunt Helen I will miss you! You were always there for me , you were a sane voice for me at times. It was a joy when I was young to see the love between you and Uncle Art. I can see the result of that love in Arthur sometimes and it warms my heart. GLC

We (Harley & Joan Bowman) came to know Helen Williams through visiting our friend Anne at Blossom. Helen was assigned to the same dining room table with Anne, Gloria and Caroline. I often sat with Anne and her fiends while they ate their meals and was privileged to offer the prayer for the meals. Helen loved the Lord and was a wonderful woman full of grace and love. We will miss her dearly. Harley & Joan Bowman
