To the family: I am saddened to hear of the passing of Boots. My name is Toni Williams, of Bassett, VA, and I am the granddaughter of Henry E. Williams and Clora Mae Welch Williams. I remember going to visit Boots and Nancy as a child. We always enjoyed those visits. I also remember the long phonecalls my grandma made to Boots. She is unable to express her sympathy so I am doing so on her behalf. We will pray for you all.

Curtis, Dallas and Family,
I am so very sorry at the loss of Boots but I am remembering her singing and now she is singing in the heavenly band. Just want you all to know that she touched my heart and she will always be in my heart until we meet again on the other side. One day we will get to heard that sweet little voice in the heavely band. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.
Love and Prayers,
Vicky Perry
