Cyndi, Roger and I will be leaving Covington, La. June 1st to take you back home to Friona, Texas. Back to your MOTHER  just like you asked us to. This will end your journey on this earth. I know you are in HEAVEN watching over all the people that loved you. You have been missed so very much. I love you Dave----- Yours, Kay

But Dave, our children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren will live on with the love you have left them all.  Kay                                                                                                                                                                                                                               We had your service today. You had so very many friends there to tell you good bye. I would say about 50 to 75 people. Everyone in the family was there. I know you were looking down from Heaven at all of us with a smile. How nice it must be for you now with all our loved ones with you there in HEAVEN. You are the lucky one. We will miss you so much. Our life will always be empty without you in it. I want to thank our girls for letting me have such a big part in all this. It has been an honor. Thank you for asking for me so we could have our talks the last few weeks. I will always miss you but some day I'll see you again, my love. Good Bye Dave.  Yours, K
