We will greatly miss getting a phone call from Dave asking if we have any plans for dinner because you were coming down our way. Will miss hearing him say Marilyn when he called, his smile, even his eyes closing as we talked because it was usually early morning hours when we would say good night. Miss all the wonderful times we shared throughout the last forty-eight years. Praying you will stay strong Barb and you know if you ever need us we are here for you. Love, Mae and Jimmy
