Jeff, Brian, Laurie, Patti and Andrea. Sooo many memories! I spent last evening with my parents - sharing stories of how our lives intermingled with our cousins. First, my Dad and your Dad ... first cousins - who - back in the day - were much more like siblings. My Dad knew your Mom before she married! Then, our generation - second cousins. I remember Kevin and Brian using Morse Code with flashlights from their bedroom windows at night - when you lived just across the street from us. Memories of snow forts and fights, summers exploring the banks of the Looking Glass at Riverside Park. When you moved further down Dill Road ... I walked many times to your house to play with Patti. Your Mom was always so kind to us! Please know - our hearts are filled with sadness for your loss - but also thankful for the memories we have shared. May God comfort you all!
Condolences from the Ken Decker Family.
