Dr. Watkins, your work in the arena of health disparities is a work that unfortunately continues. I pray that others will take up this mantle and continue this much needed fight. You were happiest when you saw human beings living life to their full potential. And your smile was not superficial, but came from a very deep place. May you rest in peace.
