Cousin Wanda, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Rex. Never easy to lose a brother,as I Know all too well. I knew him more as a young boy when I stayed all night with you during our school days. I remember us playing softball above the house. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

My deepest sympathy to all of Rex's family. He was a good neighbor and will be missed. My sister, Nancy, and I were recalling by phone this morning how he would check on her house if she wasn't home after Rush passed away and she had had a breakin. Also, he brought water to her and to our mother when she was still living during a bad storm/hurricane. I will always remember Rex as a young boy full of life and lots of fun and the good deeds he did as a neighbor. God bless.
