My prayers are with you and your family. My the God of all comfort keep you and may He give peace that passes all understanding. It's a wonderful thing to live and love and most importantly to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. I find comfort in the fact that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I know that this is not good bye but see you later for those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
With all my love,
Sheila

In life Sim Williams was an enormously decent human being, convivial, charitable and above all a Christian servant unto death.
Not only was he a faithful family man but a faithful Senior Church Deacon, Trustee, Male Chorus Member and Senior Usher. Due to his peaceful and positive spirit inexorably he will be exceedingly esteemed in the family of Mount Hope Baptist Church in Prince George, Virginia.
To the family, we commend you to God and pray that the peace of God will sustain your heart and mind during your season of sadness.
Words can never desiccate your tears. Nevertheless, we are convinced weeping may endure for a night but the God who walked with Deacon Sim Williams for fourscore years will give you joy in the morning.
Peace and Power!
Pastor A. Carl Prince, M.Div.
