Aunt Mable will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. She was kind and never had a complaint even though her health should have given her plenty to complain about! She made a great example on how to live and treat others with compassion and love. I love you Aunt Mable.

Grandma, I miss you terribly. I will miss being able to wake you up in the morning, even in my 30's you would let me when ever you came for a visit or when I would visit you. You were the best Grandma and you loved us all so much. I know that you are watching over all of us. I am thankful that you are no longer suffering. I love and miss you.

Aunt Mable had to be the kindest soul I have ever known. She has always made me feel happy and welcome in her home and heart. I am extremely thankful Aunt Mable was my Godmother. Who could ask for a more Godly, precious representation of Jesus's love than my Aunt Mable. I will see her again someday and relish that fact. Love and miss always.

Mable was my sister and my best friend. We were separated by miles but together always in our hearts. She was the best listener and never had a complaint even though she suffered daily. She gave me 2 wonderful nieces and we will all see her again at Jesus feet

Mom,
I can not believe you are not with us. I can not be selfish though because you suffered physically for so many years. We were thankful for each day we had with you. Dad, Susan, both Jim's, your grandchildren, great grandchildren and I are comforted by the fact you are not in anymore pain. Hallelujah that you knew the Lord in your heart and shared your love with so many people, especially children. I will miss you terribly but I know you are in heaven and you can breathe without struggling. To God Be the Glory forever and ever. Amen
Much Love,
Miriam

I will always remember Mable as the best Kindergarten Assistant, walking the children to and from class. When she retired, Green Run Elementary was forever changed. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Like Sharon, I too will remember ever so fondly Ma Williams. When I visited her at the hospital the other morning, all that came to mind was all the wonderful memories growing up, like flashes over time. Despite all the years that have passed, it seems like only yesterday. Thank you Ma and Dad Williams for having a piece of the molding of who I am today.

With much love,

I will always cherish the woman I was blessed to call 'Ma' throughout my teen years. Susan and I were sidekicks, seldom seen apart, another blessing. Ma Williams was always there for me; with laughter, wisdom and most of all- her love.
A smile will forever come across my heart as I recall time spent in her presence.
With love and a prayerful heart~

Mable has always been one of the sweetest, caring, and loving persons I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I'm truly going to miss hearing her sweet voice, but I'm sure we'll be together on the other side one day.
