2 Comments on “David Oscar Watkins”

  1. My deep condolences to the Watkins family. I would like to share with you from the gift that the Most High God has given to each and everyone of us, the Bible. In the Book of John chapter 11 verses 11-14 please, notice that Jesus viewed death as one Sleeping and Jesus resurrected people on the earth so they could be in the arms of their loved ones again. Jesus viewed death in such a comforting way. And, the Most High God promises that we can have the opportunity to see our loved ones again in perfect health (Psalms 83:18, Acts 24:15, & Isaiah 33:24). He even says where we will see them: Psalms 37:11 and for how long Psalms 37:29). I really hope that these promises help in comforting you. Written to you in deep sympathy.
