I am truly at a loss for words. I met her only a few times but her spirit was bright and was a beautiful person in and out. I extend my deepest sympathy to the Watts family. May you rest in peace. You will have to take care of your brother, Daron, from above. It was an honor to know you but the fight is over and there is no more pain. Just peace. You are home. God bless those left behind as I pray they find peace in your loss, but all will be reunited when the time is right.
