VERY sad to learn of Ms. Jeanette Williams' passing. Ms. Jeanette could speak her mind quite well and enjoyed sharing family stories. She loved going on walks and doing hair when she was able. Ms. Jeanette is free from any pain she endured among us now, and she is in the loving arms of God as she fellowships with her family that is in Heaven. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV): Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
