Katy,
My auntie will be sorely missed by me on so many levels. I can’t think of another woman on earth neither past, present, nor future , who endured so much loss and still had the heart to help others. She was truly one of a kind and I pray that as I continue this preordained walk which we call LIFE, that I can contribute to the world, community, and family just like she did. Out of all the women in that family, she’s the one I appreciated the most because of her bluntness, with love or otherwise if necessary and how you never had to figure her out. Thank you so much auntie for the impression, unbeknownst to you, that you made in my life when I was a child. Now, you’ve made it home where there is no more pain, no more loss, and no more suffering. Love you and miss you.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Auntie, you have gained your wings. You will be missed, but not forgotten. To my cousin, Katie I’ll give you your flowers 💐 by taking such tremendous care to Aunt Maggie Pearl that was never unnoticed. YOU understood the assignment. Love & prayer to the family. God Bless!
Love my Family 💕💕 beautiful ❤️
Rest from your Labor servant of The Lord well done! No more pain no more sickness no more tears
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting Life. You are a believer

I remember Mrs. Watson very well. When my mother was a patient at St. Catherine’s, Mrs. Watson was always there in my mom’s room, reading the bible to her and talking about ,”THAT MAN JESUS!” She was such an inspiration to me and my family…. Her kind deeds were never overlooked. Continue to know that Mrs. Watson is now walking those GOLDEN STREETS IN HEAVEN WITH HER PRECIOUS SAVIOR…………. Please accept my condolences family and may God bless each and every one of you……….
