Dear Bill, Cindy and Ellen (Katherine):
Although I haven't seen cousin "Davy" in a long time, just thinking of him makes me smile. I am sorry that he was so sick but glad he is now resting in peace. He so reminds of your Mom, our Aunt Katherine - always happy and laughing no matter the situation. I know you, his nieces and nephews and dear friends will miss him very much. Keep your good memories and his love of life in your hearts. My childhood memories of him I will always cherish, as i already do of your mom and dad. God Bless you Davy . . . Love always,
Karen (Shiley) Ney and family.
