Royal Keith Watkins,III & Family~~

We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but through that loss, the Lord is there… to uphold, sustain, and surround us with the love and comfort only He can give. May the Lord, who holds all of us eternally in His hands, be your refuge in your time of sorrow.



May these caring thoughts somehow help to convey the deep sympathy that the heart can feel, but words can never say.
