To the Watts family, I will always have pleasant memories your Mother, for being not only a favorite talking buddy of my Dad, the Mother of my brother's life long friends, a good friend and neighbor to many of the Elders in the neighborhood who have either moved or already haven taken their own journeys home. I'll also remember your Mother as being one of the loving and caring Mothers in our neighborhood who took care of you, her own family with unconditional love but as a neighborhood fixture demonstrated that love by still taking the time to watch and look out for all the neighborhood children as well. Your dear Mother, will be missed by my brother, family many neighbors and friends in the Park.
