Guestbook

  1. You will be missed, Uncle David. I know you are in Heaven now where you will no longer be suffering and hurting and can breathe with ease. Daddy sure is going to miss you and your talks and working on projects together. I’m glad I got to see you this past weekend. Praying for comfort for Lena, David, Adam, Richard and the family. Love you all.

  2. My prayers go out to the family. I went to school with David. I have not seen or talked to David since then. A friend of mine told me of his passing. I’m sure he was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed..I pray for God to comfort each of you in the days ahead.
