Former Hephzibah Girls

This page is dedicated to the memory of  Aaron Williams.  He was a true friend to so many Hephzibah House girls in our time of need.   He was the one bright spot in our daily lives, and we all miss him.  It is sad that the girls who are now at Hephzibah House do not have someone like Aaron to help them through the rough times.  All of the girls who knew Aaron have expressed their sadness at not being able to keep in touch with him once we left Hephzibah House.  With that being said, there were many of us who tried to keep in touch, and none of us ever forgot him.  We miss you, Aaron!
