Melba Watson is my oldest sister. I am her only brother. I must have visited her at least once and more often twice each year she lived in Aiken for the past 28 years since her husband Peyton W. Watson passed away in mid 1974. Melba was a strong person in looking after both her parents during their last years of life in Macon, Georgia. God will remember how she left her home in Aiken in 1974 right after her husband passed before she finished mourning for her husband, and she went to Macon to simply live with her parents for the passing of our father, and for about 6 years up until the passing of our Mother in 1980. Her husband, Peyton, was one of the early Presidents of the Aiken Shrine Club. I would be in Aiken for Melba\'s funeral except tthat I am under doctor orders to enter the hospital tomorow, December 17, 2002, for heart angioplasty, and this combined with my coumadin intake will require me to be hospitalized for at least a week during this important and critical procedure.
