I remember fondly the times our families spent together at the lake. I miss those childhood days, family and friends.

I have wonderful memories of the Devlins. Doc and Mary Jane were good friends of my parents and my aunt and uncle. We were invited down to their cabin on the lake in the summer after they moved to Kirksville. Don was older than me and Anne was younger than me but there were neighbors and I had a lot of fun. Mary Jane was really something. She fed us all out of that little kitchen. So sorry to hear of Don´s passing.
