The Watka Family have my deepest sympathy. Philippines 4:6,7 says that God has the peace that excel all thought and guards the heart, may that peace be with your family during this difficult time.

Pat, (hard not to call you Mrs. Watka) I still remember the days when you would welcome me into your cozy warm van on those frigid days while Dana and I waited for the bus, and my last time ever going trick or treating was with Dana. It was so nice having a friend I could just run across the street and through the woods to play with. Your daughter was such a sweet young lady and I'm sorry we hadn't kept in touch. You and your family will be in my prayers. Jessica Shaffer (Lovin)
