My friend Dee Gibson Roles died yesterday.  We both are/were genealogical hounds.  We have in common the Ray family of Macon County, North Carolina.  Not only was she a great researcher but because of her and a few like her, Ray family researchers had an annual reunion of their own in the Iolta/Burningtown Community every year.

On Facebok she was quick to share ironic cartoons and interesting items.  She was a giver and sharer, not a taker.

Health-wise, the past several years has not been easy for her, she has had one serious aliment after another.  I think a couple years ago, if I remember correctly, she had a transplant. 

Maybe now she is pain- free and is getting to meet some of her folks she has been researching.
