To this union was born five lovely children of which one preceded him in death on July 14, 2016, Zachery H. Williams. Bishop Williams was also preceded in death by his father, John D. Williams.

God Saw you get weary

So He did what He thought best.

And came and stood beside you

And Whispered, “Come and Rest”
