Hello Rev. Scattergood, I hope you remember me. I met you Mr Marquez's services. That is where we discovered that my Father and your husband were cousins, my Grandfather William Wilson and your husbands mother. I'm so sorry I never made it to visit. I only had one conversation with Joe, but am better for it. I hope to see you again. My deepest sympathy to the whole family...Agnes Wilson Glassboro, NJ
