I’m so sorry for your loss. I never met Junius but my cousin, Betty Fisher, informed me of his death and I discovered he was a third(?) cousin. My grandfather was James Warren and he was married to Ruby Joyner. My mother was Margaret Whitley Warren married to James Parker. My aunts and uncles are Gilbert Warren, Emmett Warren, John Warren, Nellie Gray, and Brownie Askew, all are now deceased. I know all my first cousins but beyond that I don’t know any. I wanted to send my condolences. God bless you and your family.
