Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Norita Wentzell Watson. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, especially during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
Lit a candle in memory of Norita Marie Wentzel Watson
To each of the Watson family Having known your Mother for many years growing up in our neighborhood – was saddened but with many good memories of such a great lady. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with each of you — Theresa Haggerty Harrell
Ellie, Ivey, Ethel Ann, Lelia and Robert, I just learned of your mother’s death and just wanted to say how very sorry I was to hear it. What great memories all the Harrisons have of our childhood in Rocky Mount but especially in Maine sharing lots of good times with the Watsons. You might not know this but your Dad was my Godfather and I have missed him so much since his death. Take care and hugs your way. Kack(y) (Harrison) Hardin P.S. You might not have heard, but Frannie died suddenly last week of heart complications and we are grieving her loss too.
