After a life of love and quiet grace, Willie C Lawson of Malvern, AR has passed.
These words are offered in his memory — small, but heartfelt.
Some days simply pass; others stay with us forever.
Willie C. Lawson, 83 of Malvern, Arkansas transitioned on Monday, May 4, 2026 at his home. Services are incomplete.Our Father’s Garden Our father kept a garden.A garden of the heart;He planted all the good things,That gave our lives their start.He turned us to the sunshine,And encouraged us to dream:Fostering and nurturingThe seeds of self-esteem.And when the winds and rain came,He protected us enough;But not too much because he knewWe would stand up strong and tough.His constant good example,Always taught us right from wrong;Markers for our pathway that will last a lifetime long.We are our Fathers garden,We are his legacy.Thank you Dad we love you...~unkSamuel L. Vance & Sons Funeral Directors" The Epitome of Service "
