Robert Williams

Obituary of Robert Williams"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" (Psalms 116:15). A faithful and vibrant life was brought to a summation on Saturday, September 19, 2009 at Estelle's Hospice House in Ocala, Florida. On that day, Mr. Robert Lee "Pop" Williams bade a fond farewell to this earthly plain to "fly away" AND BE AT REST WITH JESUS. "The time of departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day" (II Timothy 4:7-7). So, eternally resting in the bosom of Jesus, hear Brother Robert Lee Williams say, "I'M FREE."
