Hi: This comment is not about David Abbey, but I couldn't find another way to contact you as you have messages blocked on FindAGrave, and no email published. My name is Bill Harvey and you contacted me about Leland Jones. Thanks for contacting me. Leland Jones was my sister-in-law, Sue Jones's father and I created the memorial at her request.
