Hello Jody, I was shocked to read your email. Your mother, Mary Lou, was a major contributor to "Yesterdays of Hamilton Co., IL" and we have been communicating for some time. I had no idea that she was ill. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Your mother was a kind, generous woman who loved researching her roots and sharing her discoveries with others. I am so very sorry. She will be missed!

Jody, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was a help to me and I appreciated it so much. Thanks immensely for informing us -- often our e-mail correspondents & cousins just disappear because we have no other contact point for them. When your Mother is gone it is the end of an era. You have my sympathy, and perhaps we will be in touch later. Wishing you blessings of peace as you comfort yourself with memories.
