...Went home to be with the LORD this evening at 6:30 pm. He was suffering from fourth-stage colon cancer that had spread to his bones, kidneys, and only the LORD knows where else. His body was further weakened by pneumonia and that's where his earthly journey ended.

Please pray for our sister Jackie and the extended Watson clan. While it is blessedly true that to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD, it is still a difficult thing for those left behind to lose a loved one, especially one as larger-than-life as J.C. And though Jackie put on a brave face at the hospital, I know her bravery was a very thin veil.

When you meet him in Glory you'll know why he was so greatly missed here.
