I will miss you uncle David, you was always so kind, lovable, and helpful. You will always be in my heart. I found a poem online that I think is perfect.

"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
--- Kahlil Gibran

Words cannot express how much I will miss my Dad. I never thought the next time I saw him would be like this. I still feel like it is a nightmare and I will wake up anytime. I wish I could give you a hug and tell you how much I love you. Life is too short, and God must have had better plans for you. I know you aren't in pain now, and you are very happy where you are. I will see you again someday, and can't wait to give you a hug and tell you that I love you.

I am so sorry to hear of Daves passing. We worked together at the Forensic Center. I was his supervisor. We had so many fun times at work. He was the most sincere and honest man and it was an honor to have known him. I am so saddened he is gone. Donna Blankenship
