What a blessing it was to have Sis. Lura Williams as a friend. She had a loving spirit and much wisdom. She was direct, she was classy, and she was true. She was the real deal. You knew where you stood with her. There was nothing fake about her. I enjoyed spending time in her presence. I am going to miss her riding with me to church and the various musical services. I am going to miss her at Christian Tabernacle MB Church and singing in the choir with her, going to Sunday School and attending Bible Study with her. I thank God for her life down here and though I will miss her, I thank God she is at Home with Him giving Him praise forevermore. Take your rest, Sis. Lura Williams. My love and condolences to her family.
