To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Eccles 3:1-2.
To the family; Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, also believe in me john 14:1
I cannot say enough about Rev. Watson. His spirit, his lovingkindness, his tender heart. I could go on, and on! We all loved him, but God loved him best.

Im Angies friend, but I had the pleasure of being with her family on multiple occasions. Mr. Watson was always so kind and soft spoken and what like so much about him was his love of God, family and how you knew he loved his wife. When there was one the other was right there too! Rest In Heavenly Peace Mr. Watson

MY HEART HURTS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, FOR I & THE NEW HOPE FAMILY WITNESS THE LOVE FOR GOD FROM THIS BLESSED FAMILY, BEING LEAD BY THIS MAN OF GOD, MY BROTHER IN CHRIST JESUS MINISTRY, AS WELL AS MY BROTHER IN CHRIST. I TRULY LOVED & RESPECTED HIM & HIS WALK WITH GOD, IN GOD'S OBEDIENCE. PREACHING & TEACHING IN THE WAY THE HOLY SPIRIT MINISTERED TO HIM. I LOVED WATCHING HIM GET HAPPY BEFORE THE CHURCH DURING PRAYER. HE WOULD GET SO HAPPY & LET THE WORLD KNOW HIS LOVE FOR GOD. SURELY HE WORSHIPPED & PRAISED THE LIVING GOD, BY SHOWING GOD RESPECT BY FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT AS LIVING IN GOD'S OBEDIENCE. LOVING & FORGIVING AS THE LIGHT OF JESUS SHINED IN HIS CARING HEART. I LOVE YOU REV. WILLIAM WATSON. YOUR STRENGTH WILL BE MISSED. TAKE YOUR REST FOR THE VERY 1ST TIME. FAMILY YOU'RE IN MY PRAYERS, & AS I ALREADY KNOW, KEEP THAT FENCE OF CHRISTIAN LOVE AROUND YOUR MOTHER, MY FRIEND, MOTHER WATSON... REV.VALERIA GREEN

Rev. William Watson was a kind, loving and spiritual man. He will truly be missed. I was blessed to have known him for several years and learned a lot while being a participant in Bible study classes taught at New Hope M. B. Church. Grief can be hard, but trust in God, and He will see you through. Praying for the Family. Blessings and peace.
