“My Tribute to Dad” On Saturday November 4, 2006, from my Daddy’s Bible, I preached his homegoing memorial service at Maranatha Church in Greenville, NC. Mother would like to express deep appreciation to all the pastors, churches, family, and friends that have prayed and supported us all during this time. In the fly leaf of his Bible was written, “I Albert Lee Williamson give my heart to God this 26th day of October 1974.” Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Yes, and Dad was precious to us and we look and long for that glad reunion day!
PRESENT WITH THE LORD!
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
