Williams Family, I did not know Rahsaan well but I worked with him at Fidelity and I have a beautiful memory I wanted to share with you. At Christmas time, Rahsaan brought in a sweet potato pie to share with all of us. He told us how much fun he had making the pies and that the recipe was a family secret, a tradition passed down, and how proud he was of that family bond. I remember thinking how great it was that someone so young already understood how important family was to him. I cry and pray with you all today ... God Bless.
