To day we put Steven T Watson to rest, It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the wind blowing. And He was shining through all of us today. You will be missed by every one that knew and love him. Like they said, he was kind, understanding, and love who ever he touch. Now we know that you are with Mom and Dad watching over all of us. The day after his passing I seen the most beautiful sunrise with white clouds around the sun. I knew that in my Heart that was a message to me that he is on his way to God. we love you Steve.
