I'm sadden to learn that my second cousin, Patricia Houchin, (my late dad, Alexander Houston, Jr.'s first cousin) has passed away! I learned of this sad news from Cousin Gerrie of Delaware, while I was traveling. I fondly remember Cousin Patricia when she visited Aunt Etta Wooten Houston in Washington, DC (Aunt Etta is my great Aunt whom I lived with in Washington, DC). I enjoyed meeting Patricia's sons and her beautiful daughter in law and grandchildren; all relatives whom I met very late in life. I remember Daddy telling me that Patricia was the daughter of Great Uncle Bruce Houston. When Daddy visited a funeral in New Jersey he told us that he saw relatives that closely resembled us. My prayers and heartfelt condolences to all of my relatives during this difficult time.
Love and Prayers,
Lois Houston-Ebo
