Love and prayers,
This is such a tangled time with the sorrow of losing one’s mother and the solace that comes with knowing she had a good life and that she is no longer suffering. It’s a conflicting sentiment. My thoughts are with you.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
ARE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
We are very sorry to hear about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins and their families as they mourn and then celebrate the life of their mother Sylvia. What a wonderful, gracious, spiritual woman!
Grandma Watts- as Alvin and I affectionately knew her, was a very sweet and lovable lady. We got to know her through our daughter Ligeia who married Sylvia’s grandson Danny. When we would get together with her and the family, grandma Watts always had a story to tell. She was indeed a child of God and a very sweet soul. Grandma Watts will be missed, but her memories live on. Prayers for Louis, Connie and all the family during your loss and may God give you comfort in the days ahead.
