My sweet cousin Pat, I'm so sorry. I sent you an email this year but probably to late. Your Mom, who was my cousin lived down the street from my family on Longacre in Detroit so many years ago. Your Grandpa, my Uncle Gyp, and your Grandma, my Aunt Dot, were two of my favorites. Your Grandma, was my Dad's sister. My Dad was another George among the Coyle's and Kirker's Georges. My Mom was known as Aunt Dolly, although her real name was Mary Ann. I hung out with your Uncle Jan a little. I'm Dave Kirker her cousin from Ca. Your Mom was interested in my oldest sister June, who she hung out with in Detroit. June is still alive, but suffers from Dementia, and doesn't even know me her baby brother. I know she was taking care of Ernie for a while, but I assume he's gone also. Just found out about your Mom today, by pure luck. Keyed in her name, and up popped obituary. She did call me in 2014, and we had an old timers conversation. So, so sorry for your loss, she was a sweetheart. Dave
