affectionately called Mmaa by her children and others. She was the rock on
which we, his children, built our life?s foundation. Our father died when l,
Robert Williams, was only 4 years old, but my mother was not deterred in her
effort to raise all Six of us like any other children. She provided bread on
the table when the means was obviously not there. Mmaa gave us education and
made us what we are today though she was a single mother and did not have a
formal education herself."
The bereaved family would like to express their sincere gratitude to all for
their immense support during their time of mourning.
