Prayers and condolences to the family of Mrs. Williams.

I remember seeing Mrs. Williams at both First Baptist Church where we were both members where she regularly attended with her late son and also as a matron at West Side High School when I was a student there in the mid-90s.

She was a sweet lady who will be dearly missed.

To Rosmond, Donald and the Williams Family, sincere prayers and blessings are being sent your way as you grieve the lost of your Mom. I remember our Mom's carving out a few hours of the day to engage in a game of scrabble at our home with Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Watkins. I can still hear your Mom laughing and see her beautiful dimpled smile as they enjoyed the games. Your Mom was a wonderful cook, a concerned loving parent, friend and wife. We remember her.

We will now remember our Mom's with love, respect, gratitude and in the hope to be reunited again throughout eternity with Jesus Christ. May God bless and keep you all.

Heartfelt condolences to Rosmond and Donald in the transition of your mother. Aunt Kathleen was always a joy to be around and talk to. I loved our many telephone conversations. She will be dearly missed! Hoping to view the live stream. Keeping you in loving thoughts and prayers.

To the Williams family
We are family, and that was the 23rd. Ave., from 23rd Clark Rd. - 23rd. Morton. We went to school and played together. Your parent was our parent too. The 4 W's. Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Watkins, Mrs. Walker and your mom. Your family was the ONLY remaining neighborhood resident still living on the black. Your mom and my mom were the only ones left. Now she is gone and I miss that mom. My heart and prayers are with you.
