I am sorry to learn of the passing of my cousin. I remember when I was a young boy visiting with her with my Aunt Rosalie Starkey Hartsfield who passed away in 1982. Both were the same age and both were graceful ladies I learned to love and respect. I hope see will say hello to Aunt Rosalie, Uncle Claude and Aunt Stella for me.



God Bless Lois Marie and keep her close to Him.
