Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I have many fond childhood memories of spending time with my cousin David when our families would get together for summer picnics and New Year's celebrations. As adults, distance separated us and we corresponded regularly when he served in Vietnam. I will continue to keep his family in prayer.
