Guestbook

  1. I love you and will miss you, Grandma Ellen. I will always remember your smile, laugh and especially your beady eyes and frowned lips when you had just a little too much. I will miss your stories about you on the farm, stories about your brothers and sisters, and your funny stories about Daddy. Thank you for passing along to me your tenacity, your strength, your honesty and the “Williams” attitude. No one will ever be able to pull a fast one on me without getting an earful. :) My heart is breaking that you are no longer with us, but I know the Lord heard my prayers for you when I asked him to give you favor and healing. I thank Him for giving you to us as our grandmother and as a friend. I love you! Love, Ebbie

  2. To the Williams Family,

    Pastor Harold Mattison and Evangelist Trish Mattison, send our sincere condolences to the family and pray for your comfort and healing. Although we only spent a short time with Mother Williams, it was a pleasurable time, we enjoyed having the opportunity to minister to her in word and in song. Again, we are truly sorry for your loss. Please keep in mind that Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal. We love you all and are here if you need us. God’s Blessings to you all.
