Our lives cross paths with 'special' people very few times in our lives, this was one of those times. Heaven will be even better with Miss Williamson there. May God comfort her family and all those who are grieving her loss. To all those who are faithful and obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ YOU WILL see her again, God promises us that. love Manny & Ingrid Lago
