To Mary Lou: I am Genelle {Cochran's} Maxwell daughter. She and Billy Glen were first cousins. Billy Glen was dear to my mother. I remember being at Bill and Minnie's house as my Grandad Cochran and Minnie were siblings.

Please know he was always a comfort and joy to the Cochran family. Blessings, Marla
