Dea. Watkins & Family,
I have been rejoicing over the great send-off my friend received in SC. I could literally visualize the big smile on Sarah's face and hear her say, "Carrie, there is no better way to say good-bye to this old world." I'm going to miss my friend. We spent a lot of time together, however, thank God it's not over! This is just a temporary separation. I plan to meet her in glory. Keep your faith, family, and we all shall see her and rejoice with her again in Heaven. Meanwhile, share in your beautiful memories together. I love you all and praying for you always.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Cousin Sarah. Remember that God does not make mistakes. He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Although your hearts may be heavy, God is there to comfort you. We pray that He continues to heal your heart.

Dea. Watkins & family,
My prayers have been with you all throughout Sis. Watkins illness. I'm glad I had a chance to visit with her; the last time I saw her was at Christ hospital. Thank God her suffering is over; she is resting with the Lord! Be encouraged; the Lord will substain you and give you strenght and peace. We will continue to hold you up in prayer.
Yours in love,
Bernice Mayo
