Word reached me

Today from my sister that we lost my oldest cousin: Janice (nee Martin) Tate. She died eight years later to the day after her brother Tommy (as my cousin Tim let me know tonight). She was always filled with laughter and she could talk faster than any auctioneer. She was definitely my mom’s pet among the many nieces and nephews. Here she is standing between my sister (holding my oldest nephew, Brian) and her sister Alice, holding Tim. Janice is holding her youngest, Tracy. Condolences to all the Martins. Rest eternal grant her, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her!
