Linda, I’m so sorry for the loss of D.A. He was one of my favorite cousins and I used to love to visit Uncle Doyce’s family. D.A. was so friendly and had such a good sense of humor. I remember once several years ago being at a park and seeing him up on the stage with dozens of people of all ages, doing the Macarana! I’ll miss him. Love to you all.
