Don and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Pastor Williams. Please know you (Mary and family) are in our thoughts and prayers. We cherish the memory of our last time together here in Dalton. It was such a pleasant surprise to see you both when we walked in the door.
Praying for the family of Kenneth C. Williams, Kenneth and Mary visited my home a few years ago, we talked like we had known each other for years. Whereas, Mary and my husband David (deceased) grew up together (cousins.) It was such a nice visit, I will always remember the closeness we shared that day. May Dr. Kenneth C. Williams rest in heaven🙏🏾
My prayers are with you and your family.If you need me I' M just a call away. Love you.
HE WILL BE MISSED!!!! Thank you for all you did for me. Tim Williams
