I am so sorry to hear about my cousin David. I remember him very well, our families were very close when we were young. His dad, my uncle Vinny and my dad Gaetano were brothers. I remember many good times at Meloy Road and Washington Avel.
Robin, I am so sorry for your lossl.
Whenever over the years I've thought of Dave, it was always Dave and Robin.
I'm happy to see he is going to rest at Arlington. It is where he should be. I remember him being away In Vietnam and when he came home.
Again Robin, I'm sorry and I hope your life together leaves you with many happy memories.
Fondly,
Betty
