They had planned a quiet memorial, a gentle farewell to a legend. But then Patti LaBelle rose from her seat, her hands trembling as she held a weathered journal to her chest, her eyes glistening with tears. The room fell silent.

“My dearest friend… he knew this day would come,” she whispered, her voice breaking under the weight of grief. Inside the journal was an entry Robert Redford had written decades earlier, a secret he had carried alone. Dated 1994, its first line sent chills through everyone present: “If you are reading this, then I am gone.” Gasps echoed in the room as Patti struggled to continue. In the journal, Robert had not only foretold the decline of his own health, but also spoke of the burdens he carried and the sacrifices he made in silence. “Robert once told me,” Patti said, her voice quivering, “‘I am not afraid to die… I am only afraid of leaving before I have made peace with the people I love.’” She pressed the journal to her heart, unable to hold back her sobs. In that moment, the world saw not just a soul-stirring voice and a Hollywood legend, but two kindred spirits bound by decades of friendship, now parted by death — and a final message of love that left everyone in the room in tears.

Bridging the Gap – Church, Family & Funeral Home

Yesterday was nothing short of divine alignment. 🙏

I am so grateful to Greater Framingham Community Church, Rev. Dr. J. Anthony Lloyd, for leading his flock and providing opportunities for them to be fed. To Deacon Addie Burgan for abiding by and standing in the charge on her heart.

To my Soror Sister – Rev. Beverly Thompson, my Soror Sister – Lisa Renee Cargill, and my new Sister in Christ – Deborah Todd, thank you for your trust, your hearts, and your warm embrace.

To Deacon Gerald Hill, thank you for the seed that God placed in you years ago, which gave you the reverence for this work, and for your incredible assistance throughout the day.

And to the entire GFCC family, thank you for the hospitality and the opportunity to share the mission of Floyd A. Williams Funeral Home and the strategic alliance with PAUSE ~ A Movement for a Moment—our funeral home’s place for healing; a place to find what we coined as the “Wisdom in the Wounds.”

We worshiped together, received communion on Pastor Lloyd’s first Sunday, and opened our hearts and minds to the full scope of life—from legacy building and grief recovery to the sacred partnership between the church, the family, and the funeral home.

This is only the beginning. Together, we will bridge the gap, educate, uplift, and equip our community with the wisdom, faith, and tools to honor life and prepare for what matters most.

💛 Thank you for the love. Thank you for the fellowship. Thank you for the shared vision. The future of this relationship excites me, and I am confident that what we’ve started will ripple far beyond these walls.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” – Psalm 90:12

Because Every Heart Deserves a Chance to Keep Beating


At Floyd A. Williams Funeral Home and PAUSE ~ A Movement for a Moment, we are honored to uplift and support the mission of Who We Play For, a life-saving initiative offering affordable, non-invasive heart screenings for youth ages 10–25.

Too many beautiful lives, like that of JJ Facey, have been taken too soon by undiagnosed heart conditions like HOCM (Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy)—a silent threat with no prior symptoms in 80% of cases.

JJ was light, laughter, brilliance, and humility. His legacy is now a movement to protect young athletes and students through prevention, education, and action.

We invite our community to stand with us in support of this mission:

Heart Screening Event Details
When: Friday, May 9 | 8 AM – 12 PM
Where: SSCPS High School, 700 Longwater Drive, Norwell, MA
Cost: $20 (grants available)
Register: Scan QR Code or Visit www.whoweplayfor.org/massachusetts-plymouth

Let’s honor JJ and all those we’ve lost by helping protect the hearts of those still with us. Share this. Tell a friend. Bring your child. Early detection saves lives.

With love and remembrance,
The FAWFH Family & The PAUSE Team
