To JoeAnn and the entire Family, my condolences on the loss of your loved one..She fought a good battle and God saw her getting tired so he said to her my child it's time for you to come home and rest...She did not want to leave you but she knew you were strong enough to carry on without her physically. Spiritually she will always be there with you and for you...She is gone now to sit and rest in her seat next to God..She worked hard and earned it while she was here with us.Her journey has come to an end here on earth...R.I.P. Mary, you will be missed by all your path crossed while traveling your journey here.

My Condolences to the entire Williams family from the Gilliam family! Mary and my mother Sue, were friends almost from the time my mother relocated to Norwalk back in the early 70's, so Mary felt like a part of the family! I was saddened to hear the news of her passing! May God bless you all and give you comfort!

To the family of Mary Williams, my condolences. Now on a personal note, I've known Mary for quite a few years, we met at The Calvary Baptist Church and there we remained friends until the end. We also shared memories singing and traveling with The Gospel Chorus in and out of State, we loved every minute of. Memories will forever be cherished. You will be missed, but most of all you'll be in my heart forever.
