Sad news.  My condolences for LaVene's daughters whom I met only once in the early 2000's at a DRHS reunion and for their families.  Albert and I were double cousins,  I definitely had a resemblance to his mother Ruth, as his daughters noted!  The Spirit of God be with you at this difficult time!   Hank
