Not sure what to say?

Mr. Williams was a wonderful, kind man that served the City of Monticello as a great example of an employee with integrity. My husband and I were worried about him and learned of his passing. To the William’s family, we are so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in our prayers.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. Rest in peace Bro Simon

Simon was a dear friend of the Hill Family; and also, he worked closely with his Friend, Emmit Gallon. We all miss him. Our prayers and condolences are truly extended to the Family.

We will definitely miss him. May the Lord give you comfort this and every day, for he was loved in his life's labor. Sincerely, The Byrd Family (LaTaasha and Cairo, and mother Gloria Waddell)

My deepest condolences to the family. May God continue to bestow His blessings upon each of you. Simon was a kind, soft spoken person. He will truly be missed.

We are very sorry for your loss. But he ran his race and he made it to the finish line. God said you have won your race come on home.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I will remember Simon who ALWAYS treated me as one of the family, showing me love and kindness. May he rest peacefully.
