The late Mrs. Watson, may you rest in peace, your soul is bound with the Lords as your spirit flies high in Goose Creek. I know you are proud of your daughters, they are lovely girls. Your Sara has been such a blessing in my life. I know you know this, but she sure can cook, she's carrying on the family tradition! And Barb? Well, every time I see her, she's perfectly put together as the preacher said you always were. I know they miss you, you can never replace a Mother's love and touch. Please give the family peace and lots twinkling stars for Christmas. Blessings and Love.
