The fondest memories of my father right now are my formative years and latter years with him. The years in between have been great too. I can't ignore growth! But my early years and the last few years, on through his passing, have been significant. The peace, love and security that I felt as a child I have been feeling as an adult. Being with him during his last 24 days has been a blessing! My father fought, taught and continued to make sure his house was secure during that time. We, his family and friends were his house. I have had a fantastic father! I have learned a lot from him and I will carry with me the knowledge and comforting words he told me before passing. Thank you to all who have benefited from my father's wisdom and love. Thank you for sharing your lives with his life. My father was a true patriarch. He was an excellent leader and true father. I love you all for loving him. Stay blessed!
Mr. Watson treated me and my sister like we were his own kids. Some of my finest memories in the hilltop include Mr. Watson and his family. The price of love is grief. Prayers and condolences to those left behind. Love you and miss you pop
