To the Williams Family:

I would like to send my deepest sympathy. I met Nikki in the grocery store in Pittsburgh. She was awesome. She took the time to meet me in the store and talk to me on FB to discuss couponing. She always wore the biggest smile and was very pleasant. My children also had the honor of spending time daily with JuJo at summer camp and Mr. Greg. I'm so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful family inside and out. Peace and prayers.

To the Family,

Nikki is at peace. Think of the good times and smile. For comfort read Ecclesiastes 3:1-9.11-15,17,19,20+22. May God bring you peace during time.

Remember this, not just for Nikki but for them all,

"The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth IT to heart: and merciful men ARE taken away,none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil TO COME. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, EACH ONE walking IN his uprightness, (Isaiah 57: 1&2).

Knowing how difficult it is to understand tragedies like this Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall directs thy paths.” One of God's own we celebrate their “Homecoming” where they have been given a new heavenly body that will enter into the presence of the Lord and rejoice among the angels. Our consolation lies in the fact, that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Shirley Hoskins
