The Warthen family has suffered a great loss in my cousin passing. I remember when she heard that our cousin Carol was getting worse and she wanted to check herself out of the hospital to go see Carol. I convinced her to stay put until I called Carol's sister Jean; it turned out that Carol was doing much better. Bell Warthen did a good job. Rest in the great care of God.
