It took Wilma Holmes only a matter of weeks to decide she'd move from her native Florida to Huntington, IN, with the love of her life.
It took her more than 60 years to re-establish a relationship with the extended family she left behind.
Urged on by her youngest daughter, Linda Clark, Holmes found and became re-acquainted with Florida cousins Ina Horne and Vernan Forsyth in March - some 66 years after they last saw each other.
"I wanted to do this," Clark says "I've always wondered if there was relation."
