So sorry to hear of Duane’s passing. I worked with him around 30 years.
Sure sorry to hear about Duane. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
Aunt Estelle and my cousins, Uncle Duane was a favorite uncle of mine. I was always glad that Aunt Estelle brought him into our family. He eagerly accepted us all and helped take such good care of Grama Taylor. He will be in my memory always. You all continue to be in my prayers. Love you all!
