She wrote: “I’ll be loving you always ❤️🕊️🙏🏾

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I share — after 94 years of extraordinary love, strength, brilliance, and wisdom, my grandfather Thomas D. Williams has passed.

I know he is in heaven with Nana, watching over our family and continuing to guide us as he always has. My grandfather was truly a man of great intellect — an author, educator and keeper of historical facts. Papa poured into both family and community. I miss him tremendously. I’m a little lost for words right now, but I love you endlessly Papa. Give Nana a kiss for me ❤️”
