My husband, Tom, and I, wish to send our sincere sympathy to Lyda, and her family, as well as to Tom's wife, Roseann, their children, and grandchildren on the passing of Tom.
I came across the notice in the Tribune and as I read it through, it became very clear that this the the family that my mom and dad, Archie and Gertrude Mackay, were so very close to many many years ago. I'm their daughter, Barbara.
I have many fond childhood memories of going to numerous Davis parties in the many beautiful homes of Russell and Lyda.
Please accept our sincere sympathy on your unbearable loss of Tom, husband, dad, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless and take care.
All Our Love,
Tom and Barbara Cummane
