A Christian Mother

God gives us many gifts,
But far above any other,
The first and best He gives us
Is the gift of a Christian mother.

Her head bows over the Scriptures
Teaching children from God's Word.
Her hands are always busy
Doing service for her LORD

Whenever her children need her
They know she's always there.
Her beauty's in the strength of faith
That she daily finds in prayer.

Her children love and bless her,
And in their lives we see
The lessons of the Savior
That were learned at mother's knee.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Bryan Watts; sisters, Mable Sherril and Verbia Dubois; and brothers, L.W. Dubois, J.W. Dubois, Clarence Dubois, and Roy Dubois.

She is survived by her daughter, Delda Barfoot and husband, Bobby of Union, Mississippi; son, Mike Watts and wife, Barbara of Livingston, Texas; granddaughter, Dana Placker and husband, Erik of Livingston, Texas; grandson, Michael Watts Jr. and wife, Nicole of Dallas, Texas; great-granddaughter, Makayla Lyn Placker of Livingston, Texas; great-grandsons, Kane Gavin Placker of Livingston, Texas, and Cody Noble and Peyton Saxon both of Dallas, Texas; and brother, Claude Dubois of Lake Jackson, Louisiana; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
