As I reflect on the life God blessed me to live. I am grateful for every lesson, every challenge, every friendship and every precious moment shared with those I loved. While my earthly journey has come to an end, the love I poured into my family and friends will live on through each of them.

My greatest joy was the family God entrusted to me. And it is with that  love that I leave to cherish my memory; my children, Dion Williams Sr., Daronda Watkins, and Justin Boyd; my grandchildren, Dionna, Noah, LaQuiera, Latiera, Deshawn, Dionte, Dareus Sr., Diondre Sr. Tyion, DeAirah, zjusttin W., Ashton and Liam; my great-grandchildren Nylah, Da'Manei, Daelyn, Dareus Jr.,Nori, Denim, Dakari, Khalil, Damari, Dallas N., Dallas W., Diondre Jr., Drew and Dream; my sisters, Debra, Patricia and Hope; my uncles, Raymond and Tony; my aunts, Joyce, Corrine, Joanne B., Gloria , Sarah, Shirley, Amelia, Joanne S. and Diane; two nieces who held a very special place in my heart, Molly and Dashay; and a host of beloved nieces, nephews and childcare children whose lives I was blessed to touch.  

I am now reunited with my parents, Stanley and Connie; my sisters, Theresa and Bonita; my grandson, Dion Jr., and my great-grandson , Kyle.

Family do not remember me with sadness, but with joy, laughter and gratitude for the moments we shared. Though my physical presence may no longer be with you, my love will forever remain in your hearts, until we meet again, may God bless and keep each of you.
