Family and Friends Family and Friends

I’m no longer by your side, But there’s no need to weep. I’ve left sweet recollections

I’m hoping you will keep.

Eternal joy and memories Stay in our hearts forever,

Strengthening our special bond That parting cannot sever.

Now it’s time to journey on So let your faith be strong, For I am in a better place… I’m home where I belong.

And if times of loneliness

Bring sorrow and dismay, Don’t despair, for I am there,

Just a memory away!

We, the family of Ms. Teresa D. Watkins thank you for being there for the Watkins family.

May God bless each of you with his love and mercy.
