Cousins, I am so SORRY that I did not find out until today, Saturday about the passing of your father. Daddy thought he told me earlier in the week but he told me about the passing of his and your mother's first cousin in Mexia. My heartfelt sympathy is extended to each one of you. God is a comforter.



Love and Hugs,
