Rita Toy-Carr is a 2nd cousin gifted to me by Ancestry.com shortly before COVID hit. The reason I can remember is that I am so grateful that she got to speak with the Speaks family historian, in the oral tradition. Leon was the family's greatest storyteller, possibly because he was the oldest cousin and had seen more relatives than the rest of us. However, it was COVID that took him away from us on Christmas Eve 2020. And while Rita did not get to meet Leon, we had a glorious conversation in my car when I connected the two by phone. Family is a bond that is never broken, and Rita and I are having fun exchanging family stories. We share a few in this episode.
