I am so sorry for the loss of Dave. It has been very enjoyable to care for Dave over the past years. You have done a great job caring for him and keeping him home. He was very strong and courageous. I am glad I saw him on Saturday.Unfortunately, we will be out of town on this weekend or I would be at his viewing. I will truly miss him. He could always make me laugh. Take care and if you can, stop by and say HI.

Dear Denise, I was so sorry to hear about David. I drive by your old house on Eldredge and think about you all the time. It's so easy to get out of touch with old friends. I just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
