Charlotte and I were cousins, descendants of Stephen H. Wilkes of Wilkesburg in Jeff Davis County, MS. She was my first college roommate at USM, and we have been friends ever since. We also worked together on saving the Stephen H. Wilkes House, our ancestor's home. My heart is saddened by news of her illness and now of her death. My prayers are for the comfort of her family, all of whom were so very special to her.
