My deepest sympathy to the family.

Daddy was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, great-uncle, nephew, friend, and child of God.

He was a quiet man, soft spoken, but when he spoke everyone listened. Yes, he was quiet, but if you sat down and talked with him, he would talk your ear off. Daddy always said a lot of funny things. Funny stories too. He had a good sense of humor and made people laugh. His laugh would fill the room. He also loved to sing in church.

Now Daddy has gone off to his reward. All will miss him deeply who knew him, but he is with God and Rose. Rest in peace, Daddy. I will see you again one day.

Dear Williams Family,
I grew up knowing and loving the Willams Family. As a child I was frequently in your home every year and remember the love and wonderful times that I shared with the entire family all through the years. I remember how good Bro. Williams looked the last time I saw him. He had the looks of a very proud loving Father and of a christian who had fought a good fight and was just living peacefully. I love and pray for you all. He will be missed so much. He can now rest as his journey is over. Love, Juenella

Dear Williams family,
I think the hardest thing in life is the death of your parents, the purpose of our being here. There is so much emotions you go through in losing them, but the love you have for them will last forever. All we can do as their children is just keep alive all the teaching that they taught throughout our life and hope and prayer that it has meaning and impact the future generations. Be strong and remember that God only wants the best. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayer!

May God continue to bless this family and console you. Mr. Ben was a joy to be around and he loved his family very much. I will always remember that bottle of cologne he kept in his car when he was a crossing guard at Fehl. I saw him putting some on one day and stopped to ask him what was really going on! We laughed so hard about this. He was so strong for most of his life, and we are grateful to God for letting him be here with us for so long.

Dear Heavenly Father, in these days and weeks to come when they are troubled and sadden, Lord I pray they turn their thoughts and prayers to You for comfort. When they are discouraged, Lord I pray You lift them up. I pray You be their unending source of strength. Lord, let them know that in their weakness You are their strength and refuge.

It was my pleasure getting to know Bro. Ben Williams Sr. He was such a gentle and kind man. One with great stature, charm and style. Each time I'd see him, I could expect a warm hug, a sweet word followed by a shy yet bold smile! He will truly be missed by all who knew him as he played a significant role in the lives of many. May God comfort his family as they say farewell to a wonderful man who lived a full life with family and friends whom he loved and who also loved him dearly. Be encouraged.
