Carroll and Family sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.

I was saddened to hear of Carroll's passing and even sadder to learn that Barbara had passed away last fall. I looked forward to seeing them every summer at the Davis Reunion. I always enjoyed talking to Carroll. He and I were related at least three different ways, twice through the Davis family and once through the Cooley family. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families. We'd be happy to have you join us at the Davis Reunions. I will make a motion at next week's gathering that we dedicate this year's reunion to the memory of Barb and Carroll.
