I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying you will feel God’s big strong arms, as He holds you up during this difficult time. He was a very good man!!!
My dear Jackie, I am so sorry for your loss. I received your phone call and words cannot tell you how sad I am about David. I will keep in touch.
Mrs. Todd, Mike, Carole and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Please know that we are keeping you close in prayer.
David was a faithful servant of God. He accepted God’s will with humble submission. David enjoyed discussing the Bible and our faith. He taught me, a cradle Catholic, many things I never knew about Scripture and practicing our faith. Dearest Jackie I thank God that he let me meet you and David. I offered my hour of Adoration on Friday for David. Please don’t hesitate to call me if there is anything I can do for you. May God’s blessings be with you all.
Aunt Jackie, I’m sorry for your loss, but I’m certain he’s in a better place now, being a faithful servant of the Lord.
David was a remarkable friend to many people. He volunteered at the men’s prison (Nash Correctional Facility) in Nashville, NC for a number of years in the Catholic program. He will be missed by us all. I had great admiration for David and his dedication to the men he taught and brought Holy Communion to. I will sorely miss him. My deepest sympathy and prayers to his wife Jackie and family. May you be comforted by God’s love and grace. May his soul rest in peace.
To Jackie and family, we are thinking of you during this time. Dave certainly has has a good life, and left behind many memories to be cherished. Even though we haven’t kept in touch, we think of you often and the family gatherings at Max and Gladys’. Our sincere sympathy, Max and Marguerite Furr
