IN MEMORIAM
ANTONIO WILLIAMS “TONY”
You slipped away ex- actly one year ago today. Our hearts ache today as our minds rewind in time, not realizing then what we know now.
That last joke you played would be no more, that kiss so tenderly placed on our cheek would be your final good- bye on this side.
You’re surely missed by those that truly love you most. We comfort ourselves with precious memories, trusting God’s Word that we shall see you again. I Thessaloni- ans 4:13-18
Your family.
