It's hard to believe it's been almost one year without our mother - it's been a sad and trying year for all of us mama - however, we know that you are no longer suffering and are enjoying the eternity with our Heavenly Father, daddy, Stevie and the rest of the family - We love and miss you dearly - Leslie

In the first instance, Sally Anne Watts was known to me as Leslie's mother, Ms. Watts. In short order I recognized her for her own self as a sweet, quiet, gentle woman who treated me well and was always gracious to me. I often experienced her through her daughter, realizing that what she was and what she offered was also found in full measure in Leslie. I often silently gave "Sally" kudos for raising a loving, respectful, caring and selfless daughter. I will miss her spirit and gentleness...

Gram, even after going to your funeral yesterday & seeing you laying in your casket, I still can't quite believe that you're gone. It doesn't seem real. I don't know when it will either. Thanks for getting up in the morning to make eggs & toast for me even though my mom was perfectly capable of doing so, thanks for staying home with me while I had the chicken pox (I can still remember laying in your bed with you reading that book about the stolen dog), thanks for buying me my first backpack...

Gram-
You were only with me a moment, for we are promised eternal life in heaven, and the moment that God allowed me to share with you these past 28 years has been one that I will cherish for the rest of my life until we meet again. I love you so very, very much.
