I learned that my grandmother’s and Aunt Joyce’s first cousin, Judy Jones Sanders, a granddaughter of Joel & Anna Jones, died from Covid in 2020; none of us had any idea Judy had passed away.

I looked at a photo of Judy’s son, Brent, who is a year older than me but second cousins with my mother. 

Grandpa Will Ball’s eyes were striking and strong throughout the generations. Grandpa Ball would be Brent’s 3rd great-grandfather.
