“It is with a heavy heart that we report on the passing of two Williamson County residents. This disease sees no race, gender, or age; it has attacked the most vulnerable, and even those who did their best to fight against it until the end,” Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell said in the release. “I am reminded that it is because of these lives lost that we continue to make sacrifices and decisions that are difficult, but must be made in order to preserve lives.”
