The resolution states that Watkins has shown wisdom, strength of character, and kindness in her work serving elderly and disabled Georgians. The House formally commends her and extends best wishes for her continued health and happiness. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Watkins.
