I am sorry for your loss.
I am researching my childrens' ancestry and have hit an end regarding Mice Adkins Sr's parents. I am married to a son of a son of Herman Sansom, a boy born out of wedlock between Eunice Cyrus and Menis. If you could provide Menis' ancestry to my email - myself, my children, and future generations will be grateful.

Family and friends. Delores and I are saddend by the passing of Charles. Charles and I were Patrolmen serving with the Huntington Police Department. Charles and I shared many hours together in a cruiser on the streets of Huntington and became very close. We were young marrieds and we bonded closely. Charles left the HPD to fill his calling as a Dep.US Marshall and we drifted apart only in working together. We became brothers in the Masonic Lodge and it's affilliates. I will remember Charlie with fond memories and will miss the light of his smile and his outgoing personality. Thank You Charlie for your friendship and also for making this world a better place in our time. You will be missed. Kindness and Love. God Bless. Roland & Delores Esque.
