Rick, Cile, Laurie: So sorry to hear about your mother. She was one of the few people I have never heard a ill word on. My remembrance of her is that she was a caring, thoughtful, Christian woman who was a good complement to my friend Jackie Williams. We are in Gulf Shores through the weekend. Please excuse our absence. Jimmy & Sharon Evers
I wanted to share my Facebook post that I wrote about my Grandma for all of those that didn't get to see it or don't have Facebook.
On Monday, September 25th 2017, I lost my grandmother, my Dad's Mother, Grandma. It was sudden for me, I didn't expect it. Grandma was 85 years old, her mind was still as sharp as a whip. She had a walker, but what 85 year old lady doesn't! A through and through southern lady, a person that handled herself with such grace and charm that you would expect from someone of her caliber. A true Southern Belle!
This is why the news on Monday completely caught me off guard. I last talked to Grandma about 3 weeks ago, never expecting what would happen in such a short period of time, there is so much I wish I could have said now that I didn't 3 weeks ago. I would have liked to thanked her for actually being my Grandmother when she didn't have to be. I was 3 years old when my Dad married my Mom, my brother was 10, I could only imagine what she was thinking when my Dad showed up with 2 small children and said, "Hey Mom, these are going to be your new grandchildren!" I would have loved to seen her reaction! I would like to thank her for never treating my brother and I any different from her other grandchildren. It made us feel special, like we belonged to this family!
I would have loved to thank her for raising the single most important person in my life, her son, My Dad, Rick Williams. I would have loved to thank her for instilling the values and principles that my Dad lives his life by and passing those values to myself and my siblings. For raising him to be the man he is today, the husband he is to my Mother, the Father he is to his children, and the Grandfather he is to my nephew. And for that, I will forever be thankful for my Grandma!
One virtue that Grandma forever instilled in my Dad is the importance of family! Our family is quite large and for as long as I can remember it has been my Dad's goal to at least one time a year to make sure that all of us would get together at the beach for family vacation! It was important to him and to Grandma that our family would make sure our family vacation would be a tradition. So, for the past 30 years, no matter where our family was on Planet Earth, for one week in July we would all get together to spend time with whom is more important than anything in life, and that is your family! You only get one of them, you might have different opinions or different views, but you only have one family and family is always stronger together!
Grandma, thank you so much for being my Grandmother, thank you for being such a great parent to my Dad and all my Aunts, and thank you for always being there for me when I needed you! You were one of a kind, a true treasure, you will forever be missed, and I cant express into words how much I love you!
Thank you for everything and one day we will meet again! Make sure you look down on me from time to time cause God knows I'm going to need your guidance and wisdom!
Love, Hudson
