I have heard informally that "Mom" Lewis, matriarch of the Lewis Family, has recently passed away. Can anyone verify this or tell me otherwise? For those who don't know them, the Lewis Family is a longstanding family band from Georgia. Their blend of bluegrass and gospel is satisfying and surprisingly entertaining, and they have been recognized with numerous bluegrass awards and some gospel awards as well. Mom has not traveled with the band for quite a while, to my knowledge, but Pop was still cruising along in his mid-90s, last I heard.
