Dear Watkins Family,I just wanted to thank you for giving me the honor of being a part of taking care of Oma. She has raised a family with high morals and values, and they have in turn passed them down. Keep the closeness and always remember Oma is watching over all. Thank you once more. Linda [HOD]
