Dear Wanda and family, I had met Jim, upon researching for my family members . Betty, Nelson, Wanda and Jim met me at a restaurant and we had a most delightful time getting to know one another. It was a short visit but to know my cousins were the nicest people and I looked forward to keeping in touch. I lost touch after you moved. So saddened when I read this. My mother passed on April 8th, my deepest sympathies to you all. Cynthia
