The Life, of Sarnie Wiltiams
MRS. MAMIE WILLIAMS ROBERSON entered into eternal rest on Sunday, February 12, 2006, at the age of 102.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Willie Roberson; mother, Lula Williams; daughter, Estella Williams; and son-inlaw, John Footman.
She leaves to cherish her memories: two devoted friends, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Burton; and a host of other relatives and friends.
To Those I Love
When 1 am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
Its only for a while that we must part. So bless the memories within your heart.
I wont be far away for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you cant see me or touch me, Ill be near And if you listen with your heart, you will hear, All of my love around you, soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, Ill greet you with a smile and a "welcome home".
