Willie, Linda, and Mary Lynn,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I have fond memories of the times I would walk over the railroad to play and your mother would always greet me with a smile. She was a very kind lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Linda and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of Mrs. Watson. I'll always remember how nice your mother was when I would stop by for Linda and I to walk to school together. By observing her, it was easy to see how dearly she loved her children. Even though the last few years were difficult, try to remember her as she was before her illness.
Thinking of you,

Helen Watson was one of the nicest ladies in this community of Moneta. I had the privilege of growing up in Moneta when everyone knew each other around here and Helen along with all of her family was and is today some of the nicest people you could ever know. We will miss Helen greatly and may God bless her and her family.
