My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have known M.D. since I was a child and no matter what he was doing he always had time to wave or chat. Mom and dad thought the world of him, and dad said you could trust M.D. to tell it like it is. He will be greatly missed .

I'm so sorry to hear the news about MD. His name was so often spoken as we were growing up, especially in the 1950's. Please know that my prayer is for all of your family.
