A sad farewell to my dear cousin David. As children we spent many days playing and growing up together on Uncle Otto and Uncle Earl`s farms and eating all the good food Aunt Sylvia and Aunt Helen cooked. I look forward to to the resurrection when we will all be together again. With Love to his family, Iva Lemaster, Billings, Mt.
Rest in peace David. I loved you very much and will always cherish the memories we built as a family when you were married to my Mom, Lil. The loving way you were with my Mom, Bob & I & our 2 beautiful boys, Jesse & Joseph, your grandsons. I have very fond memories of your Mom Stella & Dad Peter.. And spending time with the 2 of you in each of your homes in San Diego, California, Cortez, Colorado & Murfreesboro Tennessee.
