Gone To Be With Jesus

On October 11, 2011 our brother, Cliff Williams II, (Nannwin) went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He had suffered a long and tiresome battle with diabetes. We are told in his final days he sought peace and comfort from God. We are most honored that the Lord and Cliff used our guild to make his final days even a bit more peaceful.

This is one of those difficult times where we realize just how important this guild is. It is so easy to get lost in boss strategies, and auction housing, and PvP, and DPS meters. But I am thankful that the Lord's presence has been with us and has used this fellowship of believers to make a true impact in the real lives of our fellow brothers and sisters; an impact that will last far beyond the duration of Warcraft or this world.

Tearfully, we bid farewell to our brother. He was a kind, gentle man who was a blessing to all who interacted with him. Yet our mourning for our brother is due to his temporary absence. We know that the Lord promises in His Word that we will be reunited with Cliff and the others who have gone before us. So in keeping with 1 Thessalonians 4:13:

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. (HCSB)

So now we grieve, but also we rejoice. Our brother Cliff is now home safely in the arms of Jesus and we will be reunited with him again someday.

Cliff is also survived by two sons and his wife. Please keep his entire family in your prayers.
