To Jean and the family: I only today learned of the death of Travis, now one year ago!! I am so sorry to learn this sad news! Somehow our families lost contact after Mary's death. I deeply regret that loss! Mary and I were 'soul' sisters in many ways, and I adored Ginny. They were both so lovely. We had a special place in each others' hearts. I so loved Travis the few times we were together in either Yonkers or Blackstone. It was very exciting to have a 'yankee' cousin!! Then I left the south and married a Canadian! I don't know how to reach you, Jean, but would love to connect. Please be in touch if you can at [email protected]. (I've lived in Canada since 1961!) I'm one year older than Travis so will turn 90 next month!! My brother Campbell died 4 1/2 years ago (Oct, 2020) but there are still at least two other 1st cousins still with us (Alice and Jacqueline - Uncle Edward's). Hoping to hear from you or your Travis or Chris. My Uncle Will and Aunt Alice were absolutely my favorite of all that generation. I should tell you that my brother did an enormous amount of genealogical work on the Epes family, and I am trying to keep it up as long as I can. In sadness, 'Geegee' (Virginia Lee Epes Mills)
