In Loving Memory of our Papa. |
| Haskell R. Williamson Clinton, SC Haskell (Hack) R. Williamson, 84, husband of the late Frances Louise Williamson of 105 Jefferson Street, died Sat. Feb. 5, 2005 at National Healthcare of Clinton with his daughter and grandchildren at his side. He was the son of the late Ruben and Margie Williamson. He was retired from Whitten Center and a WWII veteran. He was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, 320th Glider Field Artillery Battalion. He was a Purple Heart recipient. He participated in the Allied Forces D-Day invasion of German occupied territory on the coast of Normandy. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church of Clinton, and was among those who built the present church. Surviving are his daughter Priscilla Hayes of the home, his grandchildren, and great grandchildren Hank and Sherry Osborne and their two sons Riley and Caden of Goose Creek, SC and Becky Osborne and her son Kurt Osborne of Clinton. Also surviving are his two sisters Dollie Lusk of Clinton, Mattie Kyzer of Newberry, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by two brothers Charles Williamson and Oliver Williamson, and a sister Millie Strickland. |
This week has been filled with emotions as you might imagine. Caden was weighed at 9 pounds 3 ounces on Friday. That was a gain of 18 ounces in just seven days. Later in the weekend Caden took his first road trip to attend his great grandfather’s funeral. Caden and Papa were not able to meet before Papa passed, but Papa was kept up to date on Caden’s progress since Caden’s birth.
I was able to be with my mother and sister at my grandfather’s side this past Saturday evening when Papa went on to be with the Lord. I returned home briefly on Monday to assist Sherry with traveling to Clinton with Riley and Caden.
We are back home from Clinton. Caden has experienced frequent spells of severe reflux since Saturday in the early morning. We have not discovered the root cause of these reflux spells. Caden is looking good otherwise and continues to react more to us every day with smiles and those wonderful little baby sounds. I am sure there are many more things to report, but I am tired and I am at a lose for words.
My family and I rejoice in Papa’s happiness today as he is walking those streets paved with gold. We thank you for your prayers and support. God bless you.
