Thank you all! After caring for Dad for almost 7 years it was very upsetting to watch him leave this life. He was ready to go however, and his wishes were fulfilled. Bless you all!

My sympathies to all of the Davidson's in Ohio, Washington, Georgia, Kansas, Texas and other places who were greatly surprised to learn of Uncle Glendon's passing on the evening of his burial in OH. Uncle Glendon's daughter, Karen, and brother, Melville, were able to be present at his burial and pay their final respects. Others of us who had been in OH for a family celebration had already departed and did not have the opportunity to do so. We are all saddened by his loss. Ray Davidson, Nephew
