To the Watson family, I am so sorry for your lost, but GOD truly has an Angel that will look over and keep your family always. He is a good and awesome GOD, and no matter what pain we may feel right now, as each day goes by he will continue to heal and help us through it. Just remember here on earth is just a temporary journey, our true life experience is with our LORD JESUS CHRIST. May your family find peace in knowing that your wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend has touched so many lives with her love in this lifetime. Her love will live on in the lives she has touched. May she rest in peace.

My heart broke when I found out a beautiful flower had been plucked for God's garden. I will fondly ache for Miss Irene. She not only was a beautiful and gracious woman outside, but it flowed throughout her. I always looked forward to our meeting at church, there I was assured a loving and warm hug. She was like a mother in her wisdom that she would share. We would laugh at things others might find silly. My only regret is that I didn't spend more time with her. I love you and I will miss you. Take your rest with our Savior my dear, for I know He will greet you with "Well done My good and faithful servant."

May God comfort & bless such a close knit and caring family. I was the next door neighbor of her sister, Grace Starkes for years. I have such fond memories of Mrs. Starkes getting so excited that her sister,Irene and family were coming to visit her at various times. Those who are in Christ will be able to visit Irene again some day. What a day that will be!
