To the family of Mrs. Edith Williams. She and I became good friends at the hospital. It was a pleasure to have her come into my life. God has a beautiful flower in His garden now. The family are in my prayers.

Absent from the body and present with the LORD. I met Ms. Edith this April at Ochsner. She suffered a great deal, and cried out to the LORD. The LORD heard her cries. I beleive she is now singing praises unto HIS name. No more suffering for an unforgettable strong, black woman. Rest on Ms. Edith!!!
