This man ~
and his wife Martha.......
were the parents of my best friend in Middle/High School.
Susan and I have GREAT memories ~ from those school days.......
and have been a part of each other's lives ever since.
Susan's parents/family made me feel so comfortable ~ my parents enjoyed
them.
When Susan's dad passed this week, we knew we wanted to be with the family.
We got in the car ~
Ate lunch at Alden's favorite place. :)
And made our way down to Hampton.
The service was so special ~
remembering this man, celebrating his life,
and rejoicing that he is with His Lord for all eternity.
Mr. Watkins was in the Navy during World War II.
He also raced boats in the 50's and we loved hearing stories about those days.
Susan has a brother and sister.
And they have 2 sons, John and Kevin.
John and his wife are expecting their first baby any day now!!!!!
I got to visit with my two school girl friends ~
Susan and Margo.
What fun!
The cycle of life ~
the passing of one......
and the BIRTH of another.
We continue to pray for this dear family.
So thankful for friendships and memories.
