She wrote
‘’Dear friends, it was my 55th birthday on Thursday, February 5. However, I chose to have a party yesterday, Sunday.
Unbeknownst to me, my beloved mother died on the eve of my party and the news was cruelly kept away from me.
The reality of her passing has not totally dawned on me because she was my cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend, and gist partner wrapped in the invaluable gift of a mother.
Whilst I have taken solace in Allah (SWT), the Williams’ family has decided to keep things very private for now.
Your love and prayers will mean a lot to me and my siblings this period.
Burial details will be announced later.
Thank you,
Faithia Williams”
