Wayne Swindon Richard and family I am so sorry to hear about your mom and my second cousin Marie's passing. She was a great lady and care so much about everyone. I am glad I was able to reconnect with her even though it was towards the end of her days. Just hearing her voice the one time I did was so enjoyable. God Bless her and all of you.
