Jean Vaughn was one of my favorite cousins. I enjoyed the times we spoke. I live in California and did not see her often…but I always enjoyed her sense of humor and wit. She gave me a book of poems she had written and I read them often. She was a wonderful person.
Wanda and I were in the same Saturday book group for many years. Wanda was a wonderfully kind, witty, and insightful person. She will be missed.
