Clifford Gregorio Williams

Just today I got an e-mail from a fellow student of our class of "76". The e-mail broke my heart, as it was a list of our classmates who's lives have been cut short. I stood side by side with Cliff on the football field. He was a friend and a heck of a football player. I'm so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed reading about his life as a man of God and family man.

I love you Cliff. I have always thought about you and Wendy and your sweet children - always. I wish I could have said goodbye.

Wendy and family,
I am so sad to hear of Cliff's passing. I have such wonderful memories of you all when you ministered to our youth here in Santa Paula. You and Cliff were so good to me and my son, Jake and daughter, Shannon. I hated to see you leave our little town. I am sure this has been a very difficult time for you. I hope you find comfort in the love of our God and your memories of Cliff.
~~~with all my love and prayers,

Williams' Family~

It makes me feel so very blessed to know you. I treasure the time we were able to spend in Nampa and am so grateful for the chance to know Cliff. His hands on preaching and depth for human love was unmatchable. Some people will never have this type of connection with their pastor and Tim and I agree that our lives were enriched to have been able to. Our prayers are with you as we grieve as well. We love you guys so much and hope to see you again.

Dear Jordan, Marci & Family,

We're thinking of you with sorrow and sympathy of your loss at this time. Memories of your father will always hold an important place in your life. The love you shared will keep him close forever in your heart.Though we try to prepare, we are never prepared enough,
but there is a compassionate God in heaven who sees, who cares, who comforts. May you feel God's presence as you grieve the loss of your father.

All our love,

Cliff, your preaching taught me so much about our God. Your honesty about who you are and how you walked with Jesus on this earth made me realize the importance of being real to those we minister to. I will always hold you and your Wendy in my heart and am so thankful for the teaching and healing I received under you guys in the 3 years we were a part of The Rock. Thank you for loving God and loving people and teaching me to do the same.

To the Williams family: my heart breaks for...

No words can express how my heart is hurting with the loss of such a wonderful man. I know one day he will be at the gates to great me home.
I will miss you and always hold you in my heart my dear friend.

Cliff was a champion for God and a face of courage battling a terrible disease.
