I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I met your mother through Silver Fox we had many interesting talks. I was working on my family tree and in talking with your mother she helped me put together some missing pieces to the puzzle that another cousin and I had been searching for a long time. Your grandmother Harriet Ruth was a cousin of mine. I was so happy that she was able to provide me with a picture of Harriet and LLoyd. I missed seeing your mother when Silver Fox started up again. Your mother was highly thought of in the community. Her legacy lives on in her family. Wishing all the family peace during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
