Thoughts and prayers are with our cousins. So sorry to hear of Cousin Spike's sudden passing soon after Daddy/Bev. He was adored by so many. Always loved hearing stories from their days at Woodberry, Virginia and St. A's as well as "young marrieds" as Joyce would say..Heaven must be brighter and a little more fun these days.. Much love!- Ellie Wellford Grant (Bev and Joyce's daughter in Dallas)
