With all the tragic moments the family has endured in the past few months, some would be in doubt of a higher power. I am sure that is not the case with you all. Keep praying and believing, God loves you.
After reading all the entries in this guestbook it is clear that God wanted to have such a loving soul closer to him, she was much loved and will be missed just as much.
I want to express my deepest sympathy to the Williams and Williamson family. May God bless and keep you in your time of sorrow.

Here again, I find myself in disbelief that I am signing a guest book for Gussie. This is another great loss from our ERIE family. Life is really too short. It is so hard to come to terms with such an unfair, unexpected loss! So all we can do now is just hold on to memories. And memories of Gussie I do have! We have talked and laughed together, walked together, caught the bus together, worked together, partied, and argued with one another!! I will miss you Gussie. To Gussie's family; She is in a better place where there is no more pain, but I will pray that even though you all will be hurting, that the healing process comes soon.

To the Williams Boys:
Your mother was undoubtedly a very good mother, a very involved mother that was something people will never, ever forget. She loved you to the uttermost. What she was to you and what she has instilled in you is what you must carry on, be involved with your children, engage your children, love your children, bring them up in the way in which they ought to go, that is what your mother would want. Be strong and courageous in the LORD, for he will bring you peace.
To the entire Williams Family:
Gussie's work here is done, and a good work it was. We must thank GOD for lending her to us for the short time he has. You must now take what she has left here for you to grow and love and nurture and pass it on.
You are in our prayers:

Sarah, Rewa, Duane and Derrick-
God was ready for her more than we need her on earth. Remember we are only here on this earth on borrowed time, he makes the final call. Gussie was always smiling and always happy. Sarah, sweetheart, you know I am always here when you need me-just a phone call away. When we talked on Sunday you said you did not know if you had enough strength to endure this. You are solid as a rock in your faith and you know that this is nothing but the will of God and we have to learn to accept his will, although it is hard and not easy to accept. I love you dearly and you keep your faith and your strength.
Love ya always and forever, your best friend

Six years ago as I walked across east 24th street you approached me and gave me a hug. This was only a few days after my brother had passed. I want you to know that in my time of sorrow, that meant the world to me. You told me in a soft voice that everything would be alright. And I'll make sure to tell everyone in your family that everything will be alright as well. And I will extend that same hug to them all. I remember the last two words you ever spoke to me: they were THANK YOU. That's the Gussie I'll remember. Have a peaceful journey.
God bless you!
