I was so saddened to hear of your Mother's death. I was her roommate when we went on the trip to Canada back few years ago with Branchs Church Seniors. I met her for the first time the first day of the trip. (My Mom was a good friend of hers.) What a good time we had and what a great and funny lady she was! My thoughts are with you all.

God Blessing to the Watkins family from the Glasper family. This is a time of sadness, and happiness as your wonderful mother leaves one world and arrives in her new spiritual world, where there is no pain or sadness. We will always feel her warm spirit watching over us in the years to come.

God continue to bless the Watkins Family in the many years to come. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Sincerely
Braxs & Pamela Glasper
