Jaclyn Williams Obituary

Jaclyn M. Williams, 14, a special daughter, sister, niece, and granddaughter, passed away on February 6, 2013. She was born on January 20, 1999 in Colorado Springs, CO. She leaves behind her Mother (Sandy), her Father (Rob), her Brother (Mike), and her Protector (Cloe). She touched the lives of everyone who knew her. To know Jaclyn was to love Jaclyn. She was the true meaning of innocence, purity, and beauty. She had many struggles in her fourteen wonderful years on this earth. She now knows what it is like to have her freedom. She is able to run, jump, play, dance, sing, eat and feel no pain. While she leaves a hole in our hearts and lives, she now is living the life she so richly deserved! "In this life, we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." -Mother Theresa Please make donations in her name to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation or the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
