Sue & Cheryl,
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing, but I know he is happy now that he is reunited with Darlene.
Darlene was my cousin...she helped take care of me when I was small. My Dad was Ralph Davis..Mom is Mildred Miller.
Darlene & "Tex" as I called him meant a lot to me. I have great memories.
Sue & Cheryl, remember the good times and all the love you shared with your wonderful parents!
In Sympathy & Love,
Connie
