Tributes to our beloved Mary Sandra Williams
My tribute
Your mother was very kind and adorable. She was a darling nurse who treated me very nicely when i gave birth to my second son. She was not even on duty that night when I went to hospital but came to see me deliver. In her days working at St Jude, your mother Sandra was one of the best, precious, sweet, loving and kind nurses at St. Jude Hospital. She fought a good fight.
May her rest in peace

In Loving Memory of Nurse William
Today, I’m holding close the memory of someone who left an incredible mark on my heart, Nurse William. Beyond her title, she was my friend, My safe place, My voice of reason when I couldn’t find my own.
We didn’t need to be in the same room to feel close. Most of our conversations happened over the phone; at night, in the middle of a long day, or whenever life felt a little too heavy. I’d call her, sometimes not even knowing what I needed, and somehow, she always did. She just had that gift.
Her voice alone could calm me. She would listen patiently, without judgment, and then offer the kind of advice that made everything feel a little more possible. It wasn’t just what she said, but how she said it; warm, thoughtful, honest. She never made me feel like I was a burden. With her, I could be vulnerable, confused, or even silent and still feel understood.
We shared so many laughs, too… those deep, joyful, belly laughs that made life feel light again, even if just for a moment. Sometimes we’d talk for hours, other times just a few minutes, but every call left me feeling stronger, more grounded, more like myself.
She was always available when I needed her. Even from miles away, she made me feel cared for and that’s what I’ll carry with me.. her steady presence, her wisdom, her humor, and her unconditional love.
She taught me how to be gentle with myself. She reminded me to breathe. She reminded me that I was never alone.
I miss her deeply. I miss her voice. I miss her laughter. But I feel her with me still.. in quiet moments, in sudden memories, and in the way I try to be there for others, just like she was always there for me.
She encouraged me to continue praying and trusting God.
Rest peacefully, Nurse Williams. Thank you for every word, every call, every bit of love you gave so freely. You were truly one of a kind, and I’ll carry your memories with me always.
