She’s in the sun, the wind, the rain, she’s in the air you breathe with every breath you take. She sings a song of hope and cheer, there’s no more pain, no more fear. You’ll see her in the clouds above, hear her whisper words of love, you’ll be together before long, until then listen for her song.

On the brisk, cool Spring morning of April 27, 2020, God entered the residence of Annie Lee Williams and decided that He needed a servant with a heart of rainbows and kindness. Annie Lee answered the call without hesitation and entered His holy kingdom at the Regional Medical Center in Orangeburg, SC.
