Dear Wonderful Davin Family:
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. D. He was a wonderful caring man who loved his family. My brother, Anthony sends his regrets from Boston. I am praying that you all find some comfort at this very difficult time. I will be visiting the funeral home tonight. My thoughts are with all of you.
