Over the years, memories of Mr. Davila playing the accordian reminded me of my roots as I traveled or lived in other parts of the country. The conjunto sounds remain deep as do the many memories of my boyhood shared with the Davila family. My heart goes out to you and my prayers for you and Mr. Davila resonate with the familiar refrain, "The Lord is my shepard,..."
Que Dios te bendiga y sostener te en estos dias tristes. Abrazo fuerte!
