Mrs. West F. Watson (nee Juddie Magee)


Memoriam
A Tribute To Mother, Mrs. West F. Watson (nee Juddie Magee) 
by her daughter, Lurline Watson Bailey.
 
Memories have no ending, 
Remembered paths wind about forever.
Though we can't always see around the bending.
Yet the sky and earth stretch on.
And though I cannot see my dear mother, 
I know she is not gone;
For I believe that 
The Lord watch between me and thee, 
When we are absent one from another. (Genesis 31: 49)
