Francis, was so sorry to see Noel's obituary on line. Hope all is well with you and your family. The Watkins family sends our deepest condolences.
I am really going to miss Mr. Carnes. I have been his neighbor for over 3 years now and he has always been so friendly. I am going to miss his warm smile and the stories he used to tell about his farming days. He was a sweet spirited person. My prayers are with the family at this time. May God bless and keep you.
So sorry to hear of Noel's death. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
My Pips. I miss you terribly and would love to hear one more story. You're forever in my heart. Thank you so much for a life of love and always being my hero.

Junior was always so pleasant to be around, always a big smile, and the same nice person no matter when or where you saw him. We enjoyed his visits.
May God wrap his arms around each one and help you through this sad time.

I will miss seein u at Walmart and that big smile of urs ! U always gave me a hug & we would stand there and talk. RIP Pipps, I will always see ur smile !! Prayers 2 ur family & friends
Sorry for your lost
Jr. was a wonderful soul. He was a wonderful nephew and cousin to Sam and all of us and will be so missed. We so enjoyed listening to his stories, admiring his Indian collection, & going to coin shows. All these things he enjoyed so much. Treasured memories.
I know he is looking down on us from the stars smiling...
Perhaps they are not
stars in the sky,
but rather openings
where our loved ones
shine down
to let us know they
are happy.
Our deepest sympathies and continued prayers,
Sam Lee
