Obituary
"The First Link of Our Chain Has Been Broken and Forever Will Live in Our Hearts".
Daisy White Watkins, 96, ofWaynesboro, Georgia died in St Petersburg, Florida, at St. Anthonys Hospital on January 25, 2002. She was a native of Burke County, Georgia, and was a faithful member of Bottsford Spring Baptist Church for more than 85 years. She served on its Mothers Board in the church until her health failed.
She leaves to cherish her memories: three daughters, Marie Lynch, St. Petersburg, FL, Channie Richbow and Bertha Lewis and son-in-law, H. A. Lewis, all of Sebring, FL; forty-six grandchildren, fifty-three great and greatgreat-grandchildren; one hundred two great-great- great grandchildren; four great-great-great-great-grandchildren; two devoted nieces, Bertha Hankerson and Sadie Lawson; a devoted great-great-great-grandson, Treal; a host of great grand-nieces, grand-nephews; a host of other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by five of her children, Collie R. White, Francis Daniels, Clarence White, Farmer Lee White, and Columbus White.
Death is but a stepping stone To a beautiful life weve never known. A place where God promised man will be
Eternally happy, safe, and free. A wonderful land where we live anew When our journey on earth is over and through. So trust in God and doubt Him never
For all who love Him live forever.

The Family
From: Mother Daisy White Watkins
To: My Family
Ive toiled and Ive striven Through sorrow and pain, Ive prayed both night and day Just waitingfor that heaven-bound train,
To bear my soul away. My soul is weary, my body is worn,
My eyes grow old and dim. Ipray each dayfor the Lord to come
And take me to live with Him Ive had my days in this world ofsin.
Ive seen times good and bad. Ive tried my best to do whats right And ifsomewhere I have made a mistake, : As you live there are many you will make. Farewell everyone, Ive been called away Walk with God, trust in Him every day. So now my children my bells have rung,
But you should not worry, Because a new day has begun.
I love all ofyou very much.
