This is my tribute to the world's best family & best Bishop I've ever known! :)

I knew Krista because she was one of my Young Women! Krista, ever smiling, ever cheerful, ever volunteering, she is super easy to become friends with. I loved her & knew her from the get-go. We are sisters at heart! (Right, Sister Storm!)
The first time I met Krista & Vicki - we were at a Relief Society something. I think it was making tile boards over at Kathy Jensen's house. I remember sitting and giggling about something, but doesn't that make you instant friends anyways? :)
Then I took this Genealogy Class at church and the Williams' were in there with me. One day, I leaned over Bishop Williams' paper (this was before he was Bishop! Promise!) and saw he was born the same year as my parents. So in true Ane fashion, I blurted out, "Wow, Brother Williams, You're old enough to be my DAD!" He smiled at me and said, "oh really?". Then I felt dumb, and he teased me about it forever after that.
Then he was called to be Bishop. We teased Krista that now she could rebel because she was "the Bishop's daughter"! But of course, she would never think about it. . . er, right Krista?
We had YM/YW movie nights at his house, Phantom Parties, DDR parties and an Enchanted party! We were always over at their house. . .I think that's why I feel adopted into their tribe.
(Don't forget how last Christmas we went for the Messiah - non- sing-a-long-sit-and-listen-and-try-not-to-run Concert! LOL)
I love the Williams family! Even the ones I don't know so well.
I will always have fond memories of Bishop. I feel so lucky to be the Young Women's President and to get to talk to him and counsel with him like a daughter to a father. He was a great man! A very inspired spiritual leader! I loved talking to him because he always put things into perspective for me! He never led me astray in my thinking. He will always be one of my favorite people in the world!
Vicki & Krista - We love you so much! We pray for you!! We love you!! God Bless for now & Always :)
Love, All the Genessy Clan
