Rev. Eugene Williams

When my uncle married your daughter in 1975, you became his father-in-law.

Your daughter gave birth in 1979 and that was when you became a grandpa.

You lived long enough to see your great-great-grandchild, that's a privilege that many don't receive.

You raised a family and you were a preacher, those were great things that you were able to achieve.

It must have been nice to hold your great-great-grandson.

If you hadn't died, today you would've turned ninety-one.

Your life came to an end and you entered the Pearly Gates.

After living a long life, you died at the age of eighty-eight.

You preached the word of God when you became a Reverend.

Today would've been your birthday if your life hadn't come to an end.
