We are so sorry about the loss of your father, Kim. He was such a kind man that truly loved his family. Our thoughts are with you and Kelly.
Janice, Kim and Kelly, and the entire family; our love and prayers to you all. I feel that I have lost my best friend. David was more like a brother than my favorite oldest nephew. We did everything together growing up. And we managed to somehow stay out of serious trouble. As Christians, we know that the one we love, who has left us, has only gone ahead of us. David is living in the heart of God, as he lived in all our hearts. He will always bring a smile to our face as we recall the many blessed memories we shared. As Jesus said to Lazarus, Jesus says to David Friend, get up. Come outside. Come with me. Bless all of you, and our entire family.
