We have really great memories of Dawn. She organized the flowers for our wedding. We loved her artistic talent. She did a wonderful job! We also enjoyed playing tennis with Gary and Dawn when we were in college, stopping for a refreshing root beer afterwords. Dawn was always easy to talk to and share thoughts with. We wish we could have lived closer to Dawn and Gary. She will be missed.

Dear Mr. Watts, We are so sorry to hear about Mrs. Watts passing. Herb and I only have fond memories of both of you thru the years at Calexico High. You made the life at the high school worthwhile. We especially remember the special times we went out to dinner with both of you and how you always gave us good advice. The spaghetti dinners were awesome! We know how you feel today because about 3 weeks ago Rosemary's mom passed away and it still hurts, but we believe and trust that the Lord is with you, watching over you and your family to comfort and strengthen you. Please take good care of yourself. Lots of hugs, love and prayers to you and your beloved family. May you rest in peace, dear Mrs. Watts.
