Hello EK,
You are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish I had met your mother. I do believe we are family. As you know, my last name is "Strother" and my father who passed on in '09 (Hudson Strother) of Selma, Alabama, probably knew your mother. He was 97 and imparted upon me much family history that dates all the way back to the mid 1800's. I want to meet with you at some time when it is more appropriate. As for now, I grieve with you and I pray for you and the family.  Much love, -Cousin -pearlie*

MACers-- 
I am sad to report that I just received this message from Diana Rios on behalf of E.K., our dynamic Membership Chair: 


To everyone in the MAC Division, 
EK Daufin's mother, Vivian Strothers of Baltimore, Maryland died recently. 
Our prayers go to EK and her family. 


Sincerely, 
Diana Rios 

Please lift E.K. up in thought and prayer. May our time in St. Louis be a period of renewal and affirmation for our members, whatever the needs and challenges we face. 

Peace, 
Meta
