My most sincere condolences to The entire family clan of Williams for the tragic loss & untimely death of their beloved son Donnie Williams.
I had no idea that he had passed away in the month of December & was given notice 3 months after these facts but then I knew your son, brother, father figure and loved one as my sister and family were his former Income Tax preparatory services know as Pueblo Leasing Income Tax & as he knew Aurelia G. Lemonie my sister & we knew of his wonderful young son Lucian & this loss has been of a great shock to me and various family members that knew this young man who served his nation well as a Navy Seal and loved his children “the right way”. He would often tell us of his many travels and experiences out there at his work as it was not easy doing what he did as his living which reminded me of our own Grandfather Juan Garcia Gutierrez who worked in the same field of industry as he did.
A bit stearn and hard working but such is the life of a Merchant Marine and I will be praying for his boy Lucian and the entire family clan and family extend until all are at peace with God the Father, God the Son our Lord Jesus Christ & God The Holy Spirit. May God have mercy on his soul and to his people I will pray for you all until you all go home to The Lord in God’s presence when He calls you home. And remember that The Lord is my light and my salvation and to whom shall I be afraid?(psalm 27) Amen.
From Aida Juanita Gonzalez and the entire family and staff of Pueblo Leasing Agency.
