Oh yes! Those were the best of times. We had a GRAND Olde time with our connected bloodlines. I do remember playing with Cousin Bubba's young children (mostly young boys) at his house when we were very young. My Mom Florene (Bowen) Edwards was first cousins with (Dora) the Price's, (Eugene) McMillian's and my ( mom's brother) Uncle Claude Bowen's family. It seems sad, but we all must journey on to the eternal life that Our Heaven Father has prepared for us All! Now that's gonna be the celebration! Fondly remembered! Marsha
