Watkins Family,
I am very thankful for Jean and our many talks. She was such a delight to have in my classes at The Chesapeake(Yoga and Line Dancing), and to see her smile in the Fitness Center made my days full of joy. I am holding on to good memories, and I will truly miss her. With Great Sympathy,

Dear Watkins Family, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I loved her sense of humor and her laugh. Your parents were such good friends to mine, both socially and in business. Every legal document we have was prepared by your father. I will miss seeing Jean at church and at the Chesapeake. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
