I loved Lona and Tom Williams. They were so good to me when we moved to Mountain View. Lona was always upbeat and had the cleverest wit. Tom and Lona were full of solid Christian advice. Lona always had a story about the kids and gkids. They were so proud of all of you. May the Holy Spirt bring you comfort as only He can.
