We received a phone call today from Mary Goins Wall (a cousin) in North Carolina. She wanted to let us know that her mother, Aunt Susie Goins, passed away peacefully this morning at Mary's home where Aunt Susie lived for the last many years. I was saddened by this, but she was 101 years old! She will be missed on this side but I am sure she is having a great reunion on the other side!

These pictures were taken in March 2009 when Wayne and I made a trip to North Carolina before leaving on our mission here to Finland. We got to see Virgie as well as Mary and Aunt Susie. We are so glad we got to see them at that time.

With calling Mary back, it gave us a chance to try out SKYPE for landline phones. It works really slick! And we were able to call Aunt Eva and tell her as well. It was good to talk to her too!!

The funeral plans call for a viewing on Thursday, July 30th and a funeral on Friday, July 31 at 4:00 p.m. at the Friendly Funeral Home in Pilot Mountain. We have ordered flowers from a florist in Pilot Mountain. We wish we could be there but it won't be possible!
