From the heart of your granddaughter Well world my angel has left the building nana you was the best grandma in the whole wide planet and my bestfriend and my role model my go to girl and this is by far the hardest thing I have to do is say goodbye to you I went in your room and time I pick up your white suit and smelled your red perfume the tears begin to roll down my face to know that I will never hear or see u again so my heart is bittersweet to know you are safe with the most high in no more pain but I want you here with me but I have to let you so rest my angel and see you at the gate when God calls me home Love you nana from the bottom of my heart.

Mother Watson was just that to me one of the sweetest people you have ever met.She was indeed one of the special mothers of Norwood Manor who watched over all the kids that grew up there. She will truly be missed. To the family may you be comforted in the memories. Love you all, Clara Arnold Sims and Family

Mr & Ms Watson were always kind to me growing up. They invited me into their home and often offered to share their meals with me.

Love them always
