Dear Mr. Watts, Liz, Nancy and family. I will always remember your MOTHER, her sweet face and giving nature. She had such a pure heart. Such a Christian woman. Mrs. Watts was always so kind and helpful to me during our years at Bishop Byrne. She always looked like a million dollars. Mrs.Watts was always dressed to perfection, her hair was always styled, and always had her makeup on. By reviewing the photos (her wedding pictures) she reminded me of Audrey Hepburn...."BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY." All the beautiful memories of your MOTHER will be a treasure for you all to hold on to.God bless all of you.With deepest sympathy, Vickie Babineaux McElroy
