COUSINS UNITE

For the fourth time in ten years family and friends gathered in the Tishomingo UMC to say goodbye to a family member.  It's a small church with stained glass windows and a fellowship hall that has hosted many dinners for the Southward family.  It's heard the laughter and the tears.  I managed to get this many "cousins" to stand still for a pic after Uncle Hal's funeral. The service was beautiful and I can imagine the reunion going on in heaven.

Shara (third from right in orange) called last night to say that Uncle Joe is in the hospital with complications of diabetes.  He and Uncle Fairless are the only ones left in Mom's family.  Please be in prayer for Uncle Joe as decisions are being made for his care.  Uncle Fairless and Aunt Lonette are planning on coming to the reunion on the 24th. Pray for their health as well.  We look forward to a fun gathering of all the cousins who can be here.
