Very sorry to hear about your loss ; I did not hear the message you left me Monday on my cell phone until tonight. I contacted some of our cousins . Very sorry to have missed the service. My mother, Mary (Joyce ) Spence was very close to your mother, and talked about her often. Again , very sorry I missed the message as I know you were relying on me to pass this along to the other cousins.
