Many memories of first cousin David! Next closest cousin in age to me. I remember David being scolded for "passing gas" or as David said "farting" around others when he was about 11. He would run to the bathroom, turn his butt in the room, hang onto the sides of the doorway, smile, let em rip, and say ahhhh! Then run off giggling. Great memory. I am so sorry for your loss. I am happy for David's' eternal gain. Happy Easter.
