Holly Audrey Williams,
Katherine’s sister posted about the accident on her Instagram saying, “I have
no words. On Friday morning I talked the family into taking this picture and
had no idea it would be our last together with my precious little sister Katie.
We all went to my great aunt’s funeral on Thursday whom we all loved dearly, and
now are faced with another one. ALL we need is prayers. My daddy. My little
brother. Katie’s husband (he is awake and responding don’t know injury extent
yet). My niece and nephew. Her Mama. The Dunning family. All of us. So. Many.
Prayers. Jesus is close. Thank you all 🙏🏼❤️ Be merciful to me,
O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my
body with grief. Psalm 31:9”
