I am so sorry to hear this. I hate that after dad's death (David N Davidson) I just haven't been in touch with the family after moving to North Carolina. I have such fond memories of family reunions at Aunt Mary's in Unionville, homecomings at Rhoadesville and of course, the cousin's parties and the rivalry between UVa and Tech. Please remember and take comfort in these words spoken to me by Aunt Jean Waugh when daddy passed, "To live in one's heart is to never die". May God Bless you and comfort you in this difficult time.

Buzz and Garland, We will always cherish memories of Uncle "Sticker" and his patience and good humor with all the children at our family reunions when our boys were small. We are sending love and many prayers from Texas.
