Dear Family,
I am so sad for your loss of my precious friend. I loved you Mom so very dearly. She was such a special lady and will be remembered with only kind and godly memories.

Emily, I was sorry to hear about the lost of your beloved Mother. It was a pleasure getting to know you and your daughter while we both were at Solace. Remember what I last told you, you will always be in my prayers. God Bless and may He continue to carry you when life gets to hard to handle.
A heart broken and crushed, O God, you will not despise. May that promise of God support the family during this difficult time. (Psalms 51:17)

Mrs. Watts was in the Solace center the same time as my Dad. I met a lot of the family and they were a blessing to me. I know Emily was loved deeply and will be missed. My sympathy goes out to the family. I hope she’s met my Dad and Mom in heaven by now. My prayers go out to the family.
