  • This is a great loss to me too. Snookie was just 3 years old when I married her oldest brother, Lynch Jr. After her father died, Snookie stayed with me, playing with our children while her Mother worked. Even as a child she had a deep interest in people. Her caring came from deep in her heart. I know her family’s memories of her are as precious as mine.

  • Hugs & Kisses, Prayers & Wishes. Prayers are with the Watts/Dooley family. Growiing up w. Mommmie Eunice you sll treated me like family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. SHE WILL B AN ANGEL WATCHING OVER HER FAMILY IN HEAVEN JUST LIKE ON EARTH. GOD BLESS.
