Death notice for the town of: Cedar Hill, state: Missouri
As a very young child, I often visited Roy and Maude and June, Ronald and Phyllis. Your mother and mine were cousins.
I have many photos of your mom growing up. My mom died many years ago. Phyllis died almost 2 years ago.
During my research today, I found this obituary. I wish I had known your mom was in Missouri, I’d have contacted her. My son also lives in Missouri. I would love to have visited her when I was in Missouri.
My mother was Jeslyn Emerson Sawyer.
My grandmother was Clio Salls Emerson,
Our great grandmother was Effie Minnie Reynolds Salls
My sincere condolences,
Wendy Sawyer Lorek
