Those Who Were Killed
We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.
W. Stephen Williams
"William Stephen Williams' best friend, Warren Vieth, a news editor for the Los Angeles Times' Washington Bureau, wrote that he remembered the two forming a garage band during their teen-age years. The two became friends in second grade while growing up in Kingfisher. Vieth said he last heard from Williams on April 7 through an E-mail computer message asking for help with a song he was writing. Williams was struggling with the verses but he liked a chorus he had written: "Grab the world and shake it now, or maybe you never will." Vieth said, "Looks like the world reached up and grabbed Steve before he could finish his song. " Williams, 42, of Cashion, was an operations supervisor for the Social Security Administration. His wife's name is Barbara and he had three daughters."
