Sorry to hear my cousin David passed. His dad, John, my uncle, was a younger brother to my mom, Lucretia (Patsy). The last time I saw the family was at my mom's funeral in April 1971. I wish Dorothy and all the family God's blessings for comfort and peace in the coming days. Again, please accept my sincere sympathy. Blessings, Nick Radoe
