GAINESVILLE, Fla. – After the body of a missing Gainesville mother of 4, who was missing for two months, was found, the grieving family speaks out about their loss and the pain they are suffering through.
Keyanta Williams,' 39, body was found off a highway near the City of Alachua after police said they learned about the location while negotiating with the lawyer of Williams' boyfriend, 41-year-old Kelvin Renard Bryant. He has been charged with murder in Williams' death.
"You know we have all prayed that we find Keyanta's body. Just so we can begin a true grieving process, and thank God that happened today," Williams' cousin Gladys Perkins said.
Williams family stands united and strong after going 61 days without knowing what happened to Williams or where she might be. According to them, now, thanks to prayer, they won't enter day 62.
"To find her today, it brings me peace of mind. That I know where she is now and I know she's home with the Lord. And that I can go forth and my grandchildren, we can have closure," Williams' mother Irma Dorsey said.
Dorsey also had a message for Bryant.
"I'll never forget, but I forgive you because you don't win. You don't win. I want you to understand that you don't win and I will be there every time you come up for court. I'm going to be there. If you go for parole somebody's going to be there. You will not get out not one day before your time. You understand me? You took my soul," Dorsey said.
The family has not seen Williams' body yet but when they do they will come up with plans for her funeral.

The Alachua County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the body of 39-year-old Keyanta Williams was found Thursday off County Road 235A in the city of Alachua.
Williams had been missing since early February, when she left to get gas before picking up one of her four children from school.
The Sheriff's Office said Williams' former boyfriend, 41-year-old Kelvin Bryant, was was indicted last month on a charge of murder and grand theft, gave up the location of the body during negotiations.
Deputies said those negotiations were initiated at the request of Williams' mother, Irma Dorsey.
"This is the day I've waited for, to bring my child home," Dorsey said. "Keyanta now can have a burial like she deserves."
On Feb. 11, Williams' boyfriend, 41-year-old Kelvin Bryant, was arrested and charged with grand theft auto after he was found driving her car on a suspended license in Putnam County, more than an hour away.
One month later, Bryant was indicted by a grand jury for first-degree murder in Williams' death, grand theft and destruction of evidence.
Bryant is being held in the Alachua County Jail on no bond.
Deputies built a timeline between the day family members reported Williams missing to the time Bryant was arrested.
Deputies said between the time Williams was reported missing and Bryant was arrested, Williams' phone pinged off cellphone towers in four counties -- Volusia, Flagler, Alachua and Putnam. Her phone was not GPS compatible, which means deputies can't get the direct path her car took.
Deputies said Bryant and Williams had been fighting the day she disappeared.
Over the last several weeks, Carl Williams said his family has tried to heal. He described his niece as a kind, loving mother. He still holds out hope that Bryant will open up and give him the answers he needs.
"If God will just touch his heart, and we just want out of this rat race and so forth," Carl Williams said.
Bryant is due back in court in the next few weeks.
