You are and will be missed at Allen Chapel. You were faithful and loyal even when you were ill. The characteristic that I loved about you is the fact that you knew how to voice your opinion and still be friends. I think that it was because your sense of humor made it hard to get mad with you. We love you, but God loves you best. My prayers are with the family.

Annie Ruth and Chris, as we know” life is but a stopping place, a pause in what’s to be, a resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay. Our destination is a place, far greater than we know. For some, the journey is quicker, for some, the journey is slow. And when the journey ends, we’ll claim a great reward and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord. It’s seem like just yesterday when I would go up the street and he would be standing out I had to stop for a friendly argument, oh how I am going to miss that. God bless and keep you strong. Minnie, Kim and Family

I will miss Paul's smiling face and warm embrace everytime he saw me whenever I would visit Americus. He was a real friend and a lovely person! May the Almighty God grant the family comfort during the difficult days ahead. Matt. 5:4

The Williamson Family: My condolences is the passing of Mr. Paul Williamson. Paul was well known around MCLB Albany. Whenever I saw him, I called him Mr. Conductor because of the railroad uniform he wore with train engineer's cap. Paul was a charismatic man; always smiling and he seem to have been contented with his life. I missed him when he retired from MCLB Albany and I am sure his present will be missed in the lives of family and friends. Special condolences to Mr. Johnnie B. Williamson and his wife, Mrs. Annie Kate Williamson.

I extend my condolences to the family and friends. The Bible assures us that no person is beyond God’s help and that no tragedy is so great that our heavenly Father cannot comfort us. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)

I am very sorry for your loss. However, Almighty God is not the cause of death; neither does he take our loved ones away from us to be with Him. (Psalm 83:18; James 1:13) Death is our enemy and soon it will be brought to nothing. (1 Cor. 15:26) We have the hope of a resurrection at Acts 24:15. We will be able to see our lost loved ones again on a restored earth. (Psalm 37:11, 29) I hope this brings you peace.
