To the Watson Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your son & brother,Carson!! I am so deeply saddened because I know the pain & hurt of losing a child & no one knows the great grief that it causes until people have experienced it!!! There are few words that ease the pain but just knowing that people care does give some comfort!! Just know that at the very moment Carson closed his eyes here that when he opened them in Heaven God was standing & waiting on him!!! May God be with each of you & Give you the awesome strength to walk through this knowing that he is walking with you!! Kay Howell
