I am one of the Harrell cousins wife and I lost my husband at age 27 in a car wreck, however I have always stayed in touch with the Harrell family which I love dearly, and I've never remarried and I'm 69 years of age. my husband was Charlie & Della Harrell's son , which I think was Waymon's first cousin. I am sorry about his passing and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family
