The Leon and Ione Watson Family
From Virgelle, Farm, and Fort Benton, Montana

Gordon passed away this morning, Nov. 5, 2024. It's a lonely feeling when all of your siblings and parents are gone. No one to talk to about family stuff, to reminisce about the old days on the farm or in Fort Benton. No one to fill in history that has escaped your mind. No one to call and just see how things are going. No one. 

But, you know, someone always has to be the "last one." 

I'm wondering. . . how long is mom going to hold up dinner, waiting for me?
