In memory of our cousin John, who left Scotland when he was just a baby so we never got to know him, until he spent a day in Greenock Scotland while on one of his cruises, and our whole family got to meet him, and spent a great day with him catching up on our lives and families...we will never forget you John...RIP...Your cousins, The Devenay Family in Scotland...
