Carolyn, Betty, and Robert, so sorry to hear a out the loss of your Dad. I just found out tonight. You probably don't remember me but my Dad was your Dad's Uncle (Loren Cox). Don came to my Dad's funeral in 2014 and we had not seen him in years. Had we known Brenda and I would have come to the funeral. Again, our deepest condolences.
