To the Watson Family,

May God Give You Strength and Blessings. You are in my Prayers.

John (Choppy) is one of my oldest friends dating back to Elementary School - Sixth And Sixth. Our Mothers were friends and as I had to walk past the Watson's house en-route to school we'd often walk there together. Those memories will not be forgotten.

Watson Family:

There are few words to comfort you during this time of sorrow, but know that God cares and has a purpose for all that He does.

I had the privilege of meeting John while he worked at the Department of Taxation, soon afterwards he and I became the best of friends (both at work and at home). His cheerful laughter will continue to resonate through memory and time.

As you will miss him, I will also miss my friend. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
