Your mom and my dad, Jack Cowens, were first cousins. I was thinking about your mom (as genealogy is a hobby of mine) and was looking her up to make contact when I saw the obituary. I am sorry for your loss. My mom died in 2011 (dad in 2006) so I know the hole it leaves in one’s heart.
Don’t know if she kept much in the way of family history, but I would be interested in anything (pics, etc) from her mother’s side (Mechley).
Please accept my condolences.
Tom Cowens
