Sheriff Williams,
You set the example of standing between good and evil. Your dedication to leading, protecting and understanding that you are a part of something bigger than all of us came too suddenly. You gave the ultimate sacrifice. From this sheriff to you, thank you for your bravery and unconditional service. You have inspired many young children who are destined to follow you with their calling to serve.
