RIP ANDREW WILLIAMS, ELAINE WILLIAMS, CRAIG WILLIAMS AND BABY LIAM
Today I attended the funeral service of Andrew and Elaine Williams, their son Craig, and baby Liam at Christ Church in Blaenau Gwent. I had last been here in similarly sad circumstances for Peter Law’s funeral.
Once again the church was packed to overfull with people standing and people outside. Valleys communities come together for grief and in remembrance, and it was a deeply moving service for Andrew, Elaine, Craig and Liam.
Andrew, Elaine and Craig had been popular and respected members of their community involved in charitable work and Andrew had been Chairman of the Conservative Club.
Fatal road accidents are always sad, but when a small family is practically wiped out in an accident, it is almost too much to bear.

Thankyou for remembering such a wonderful family. I only met Craig’s (eddie, as we all knew him) mum, and she was the most genereous, thoughtful woman on the planet.
She passed alot of her qualities onto her son, who was over the moon to be expecting a child.
Every Day, especially today - a full year after the accident is another reminder of how fragile lifes are, and that we should always live for the moment. I know Eddie always did.
