Mrs. Watts was an extraordinary person and was always so kind to me! She worked on a vehicle of mine back when I was much younger than I am now. I was laying in bed telling my wife what a sweet person she was and I´m deeply saddened to find that she´s passed away. I would like to thank her family for sharing such a sweet person with the world!
