So sorry to hear of Devons passing. You may not remember me but I grew up in Sterling with him,infact he is a distant relative. We met both of you when you lived here in Cedar. Its so hard to loose a loved one and we express our sincer sympathy to you RaNae and your family. Devon was always such a good young man. He has done so much good for so many people.
