Sandra and Phyllis. I am your mothers cousin, her Aunt Retta’s daughter. Your parents use to come back to Selvin for our reunion at Yellow Banks. I had not heard from her for a while and did not know your Dad passed also. You have my sympathy. Mary Lee was always a favorite of mine. I remember when she and Charlie started going together, I was upset cause when he would come with her to visit with Uncle Curtis, I felt left out. Before she use to pay attention to me, but that was before Charlie! We use to laugh at that after I grew up. Now there are only 4 cousins left, Uncle Wallace’s two sons Don and Larry and his daughter Sharon and me. Family getting smaller. Sharon’s husband died a month or so ago. I live between Bloomington and Bloomfied. I had been thinking of you guys and had my daughter look up her name on computer and found she had just passed this week. I called and told Sharon. Would love to get to know you girls too. Barbara (Niehaus) Mullen, husband Don.
Dear Phyllis, Sandra, Jourdan and family,
