My heart is broken with this news. Dodie was such a wonderful friend to my family for as long as I can remember. She was there for us when my brother died. In the last months of my Mom's life, Dodie spent many nights tending to her. During my Dad's final illness, Dodie was a constant and attentive friend to him. I wanted so much to return the favor and help take care of her if illness beset her. I had no idea she was ill. Your mother and sister was deeply loved and treasured by many. May God bring you comfort. Betty Estes (daughter of Buck and Emma Williams and sister of Glenn Davis Williams)

Diane & Jodie -
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how close both of you girls were to your mom. She loved you both as much as you both loved her and she was incredibly proud of both of you. Take solace in knowing what a strong relationship you had with her and all the lovely memories you'll always have. Take care and God bless.
