The prayer service for Laura was incredible
On behalf of the Williams family, thank you so much to this community for all your support, prayers, and help during this difficult time. Our family is so grateful to live in such an amazing community of caring family, friends and neighbors.
A special thank you to all the volunteers of Valley Water Rescue, the Salvation Army, Bud Myers and our new favorite dog Barnaby, the Fargo Firefighters, the Fargo media, and all the hundreds of loving caring friends and neighbors in our community.
We’re very sad, but faithful and assured that Laura is happy in Gods arms with our loved ones watching over us and helping us and smiling on us.
God bless each of you. The Williams Family
At the prayer service Rob Bye of Valley Water Rescue said he isn’t a writer, but was inspired to write the following poem at todays prayer service about our beloved Laura:
I NEVER MET LAURA
I never met Laura, but I knew her,
I knew her sisters that stood in the cold, That huddled together,
That shared stories of gardens and beaches and flowers, Sisters that hugged and prayed,
Sisters that hoped and sisters that wept,
I never met Laura, but I knew her,
I knew her brothers’ who stood so strong,
That started the search and would never have quit,
That supported the others and spoke when she couldn’t, Brothers that hugged and prayed,
Brothers that hoped and brothers that wept,
I never met Laura, but I knew her,
I know her Father in Heaven that carried her home, That huddled together and watched over the search, All the while holding her close,
A Father that counted the hairs on her head,
A Father that promised a mansion with her very own room,
I never met Laura, but I knew her,
I knew the love that brought us together,
The community that embraced Laura and her family, How we will miss her and never forget,
And the healing that will come,
I never met Laura, but I knew her.
