Kent N. Watson, age 55, died
peacefully on Thursday, November 24, 2005, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in

honorably served our great country as a member of the Air Force in the
Vietnam War. Kent married Denise Hatch on January 2, 1981, at Holy Trinity
Church. He was employed by the City of Toledo as a supervisor, retiring in
2000. He then enjoyed working for Swanton School Transportation.
Kent worked very hard to provide for his family and was dedicated to
spending quality time with them as a devoted husband and father. Kent
enjoyed going on vacations, the lake, coaching sports, and scouts. His

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of Heaven is a place called
Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone
here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of
our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old
are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole
and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone
by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each
miss someone very special, someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together, but the
day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes
are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group,
flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when
you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion,
never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again
caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so
long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge
together... |
