I work for the transportation company that David rode with for awhile, he rode my bus. Even though we stopped driving him, I still thought of he often. My prayers our with you all. Carrie Lyn McGinnes Carrie@jdsf.org So sorry about David's passing. I really enjoyed having David bowl with us and then go out to dinner, he always kept me laughing. All of us at the Joshua D. Smith Foundation really enjoyed his balloon animals; he will be missed by all. I can't help thinking about how David had a wonderful last day, he bowled almost a 200, had dinner with his friends, and then just went home and went to sleep. How peaceful.
