    TK Watkins was a genuine friend. He would give a person the shirt off his back if you needed it. We share in your sorrow for a great person left us today. But, we rejoice in knowing he is safely home in the arms of Jesus. May God give you comfort and peace in all the wonderful memories you have of that wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. We love you and want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
    Anne and David Tomlinson

    My deepest condolences to the Watkins family. TK will be greatly missed. May your precious memories fill your hearts with joy and bring you peace. May God clothe you with His tender mercies and comfort you. May you continue to assure your heart that not even death can separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 8:38, 39. Heartfelt prayers are with you. John 11:11, 21-26; Revelation 21:3,4; Matthew 6:9,10.
