I can't believe it has been 3 year  / Rachel Brown (Cousin)

Hey Charity. I can not believe that it has been 3 years since you went home. Some days it seems longer and other days it seems like it has been just yesterday. I miss you so much. you will always be my best friend. We talk to Ivan about you all the time so now when he sees your picture he knows who you are. We talk to him about grandmother too. He can even tell you that he is named after her. He is so smart. Well I know you know all of this. Well tomorrow is the 4th and it is just not the same with out you. you loved that holiday so much. Well Charity. I just want you to know that I love and miss you so, so much. I will see you when it is time. You make sure you have a place ready for me.

3 years  / Mom
Charity, it's been 3 years since you went to be with the Lord.  I know that you are so happy there.  You don't have to worry about seizures or weight or anything else.  I miss you so much, but I will see you when it is time.  My love for you only grows stronger with time.  You are still my baby, and you always will be.

My Condolences  / Surayah Davis (close College Friend )
I just found out today about Charity's passing after reconnecting with an old buddy......Charity, myself and others were all very tight during our years at Paine, especially during our freshman and sophmore years....WE HAD SO MUCH FUN..being silly, swaping funny stories about weird roommates, trying to figure out some of the odd professors, playing spades (she was the better player)...Charity played pool so good that even the guys were afraid to play against her (seriously)....I can't remember ever seeing homegirl without that smile...it always cheered me up...still does when I think about it Close

I'm very sorry  / Cynthia Durgin (none)
Hi, I was just passing by looking at memorials.  My condolences on the loss of your daughter.  I am sure you miss her very much.

I love her name, Charity.  I have a C name and my sisters all have C names too.  I am sorry about the seizures.  My mother suffered from a seizure disorder for several years before she passed away.  I know it is a horrible thing to have to live with.

Charity is at peace now in God's house.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cynthia Durgin

Things are so wrong!  / Rachel Brown (Cousin)
Hello there Charity. I type these messages because it helps me feel I can talk to you.
It just seems like since you went home things are so wrong. I am not saying everything is wrong, but when you went home you sure did take a part of everyone with you. For a while it felt like people were getting closer, now it just seems like we are getting further apart. I know it is something we all need to work out here, but I don't think you realize how much you meant to everyone. I miss you so terribly much. My life has been this rollercoaster the past few months and I sure wish you were here so I could talk to you about it.
Well Charity, you have really been on my mind and I wanted to just let you know that I was thinking about you. I feel guilty when I don't write. Did you get the letter that I put in a balloon? I am sure you did. Well Charity I love you and I can't wait to see you again.

30 Years and O, Holy Night...  / Joslyn Ford-Keel ("God Neice/Cousin/Sister/-Something" )

Happy birthday to MY CHARITY-my "dogg", my "ace", "my guinea pig (lol)", my "bud", my “gUrl” and so forth & so on…!! December 11 has always been and will always remain a beautiful day...!

This weekend I couldn't help but think of you when asked to sing "O, Holy Night"... A few Christmas' ago, I was in Denver for the Holidays and Charity and I sat together at a celebration where the soloist on that piece was having some vocal complications and Charity, the Looney Toon, put her "clown suits" on (such a comedienne)! By the time she finished saying what she had to say to me and my mama; our faces were streaming with tears from trying to hold back our laughter... So, as I was singing and I got a little tripped up (my own vocal complications), I chuckled at the thought of Charity "roasting" me but I BUT I was able to recover remembering the strength, grace and beauty of the piece when Charity herself sang it...

I miss you sooooooooo much! And I love you even more than that!

I still have joy,
Jozie

Happy Birthday my baby  / Mommie
Charity, this is your 30th birthday. Can you believe it? I'm not old enough to have a 30 year old child : ). Yesterday Daddy and I sang for the TCF candle lighting ceremony. You would have been so proud of us. It was an honor to be able to pay tribute to you in such a way. 

Your niece Isabella Nichole (named after you of course) has your smile and your personality. I know you are so tickled to have such a beautiful niece. She is the most beautiful baby ever born (after you and Tiffany).

Mommie & Daddy miss you so much, but we know we will see you again. Happy birthday!

Love, Mommie Close

I am the okdest in my family also and i have some family in Dallas and friends to. Although I am only 14 i am really sad that you only lived for 27 years. This is not a joke My name s really charity and i live very close to Dallas. Even though I didn't know you I find it good that your name is Charity, Williams at that. only people like you could carry both Charity and Williams. To your family I am very sorry For the loss, it almst brings me to tears to get a wake up call. I was only a middle name short and a few years behind. I hope that you are having a good time in heaven.
Love to You,
Charity Ivana Williams Close

Come back  / Tiffany

Life has been more than fair to me, but it was not fair to you.  How can I make it up to you?  How can I make it better?  I can't.

Bella should meet you, but she can't.  Her smile is just like yours!

Remember Pee Wee's Big Adventure?  Remember the Iowa tent revival?  Remember using the fireplace as a stage?  Remember the Greyhound bus ride?  I remember them.  I remember you.

Come back Close

I really need you now.  / Rachel Brown (cousin)
Well Charity, it is just over two years sinse you went home and I really need you.  There are so many things I want to say to you.  I know you would not change one thing.  I know you are happy and I am so, so happy for you, but in my time of struggle I want you here.  I know that you are here with me.  I can feel it.  I can feel you always.  There are so many things that have happened.  I know you know, I just wish I could see your contagious smile one more time.  I need it.  Some days I don't think I am going to make it with out it.  Dominique is so tall she is probably taller than you.  Come to think of it Ivan is probably taller than you are too.  (ha ha ha)  They are so beautiful.  And that beautiful Isabella.  She is so-o-o beautiful.  I know when she talks to her Tigger she is talking to you.  

I just miss you so much that is hurts some  days and I guess today is just one of those days.  I cannot wait to see your beautiful face again.  And I am in some serious need of one of your famous hugs.  

I love you so much.  I know I told you, but I don't think that I told you enough.  You can never hear that enough.  Well I love you so much and I can't wait to see you again.   

Always you bestest little buddy and cousin

Charity, my best friend, sister, traveling buddy, and so much more  / Ashley Key-Ferguson (Best friend, sister, traveling buddy and much more )

I met Charity when she pushed me into the water fountain in the dorm of Paine College. She was known as "Dallas" and I was known as"Rage". We hit is off and were the best of friends ever since. We joked together, studied for tests together, and where ever she was so was I. I just want the Williams family to know that they will be in my prayers and to not worry because charity is looking down on us with that smile that can light up a room and that makes all of us laugh uncontrollably!

Cherish Her Memory  / Brenda Lomax-Brown (Friend)
Don't think of her as gone away, her journey had just begun
Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one
Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and tears
In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are not days or years
Think of how she must be wishing that we could know today
How nothing but our sadness can really pass away
And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much

1st place Poem "Charity"  / Dominique Combs (2nd cousin )

Charity
by Dominique R. Combs

Charity was her name
My cousin that is
She had lots of potential and game.

Charity loved evryone
That is if she knew them
With her around there was always sun.

Charity broke every frown
By cheering people up
Even when the world was upside down

Charity is now in heaven
Why so young?
Why did God want her at the age of 27?

Charity had lots of love
Never any hate
She is always watching me from above.
the end.

Charity I really miss you and I can't wait to see your face again.  Love Dominique.

"My bestest little Buddie"  / Rachel Brown (Cousin)
Charity was the first baby born in the family after me and from the first time I saw her face I claimed her as my baby.  When she lived in Texas I could not wait for summer to come because I knew she would be here.  She was joy and love no matter what was going on in her life.  I remember the first time my son, her God son Ivan went to Texas to spend time with his dad.  It was Charity to make me feel better when I felt sad.  Well Laquiwashinique (ha ha).  I can't wait to see you face again.  Brat!  Close
