I was sorry to hear about Dave. I will always cherish my talks with Dave about us both growing up on Cotton Mill Hill in Martinsville. Dave and Elva always made me feel a part of your family. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

I am so Sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was my mother's (Anna Clemons Greer's) uncle so I am guessing that would have made him my Great Uncle; of which I never met or knew, but my mom talked of him often & I it seems that he was her favorite Uncle!
My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time!
