IN MEMORY OF
JOE WILLIAMS
Thirteen years now you’ve been gone, now, missing you still. I know you hear me every night when I say, “Good Night, Pop.”
So many little things come to mind that make me smile when I remember our fishing trips (when you fell out of the boat). How gentle you were with all our pets, and your patience with me. Your kindness to everyone was remarkable.
Forever yours, faithfully, Jay.
IN MEMORIAM ON YOUR BIRTHDAY
OTIS KYLE BELL Sept. 25, 1958
We miss you so much. Love always, mom, Phyllis, Eddie, Lakisha, Otis, Jr., and DeMarcus.
