Dear Patsy and Family;

It is with such heartfelt saddness that we extend our sympathies to you and your family. David was such a fine man, a truly good and decent man, and one who clearly loved his family well. His gift to us was in the life he led and the love he offered. In the next few days and the weeks to come, you will experience feelings that shift and turn like a roller coaster, we grieve for you, and know that love will see you through. It is bitter sweet at first, but softens with time. Please know you are in our thoughts, and prayers. If I can help you, please call me. Love,

Norm and Renita Brownlee

To My Dear Family.

My Brother left a beautifull family, but he did a great job as Husband, Father & Grandfather no doubt, as a brother the few times I saw him, he left in me so much love, for me he was a symbol of respect & love, now he is with my sister Sophia and my brother Mario whom I loved so much, now the three of them will be missed a lot they will all protect us, David was the first born, and that made all the siblings to respect him and loved him, he always thought about us, and he always talked about his friends in Nicaragua, even do he never came back, the memories where always there. His wife and children where so lucky to have and hold such a wonderfull man.

Dear brother you will be missed by your little sister. But you are now in God´s hands. I Love You Brother.
