Dearest David,
I wish that I knew that you were leaving us when we last spoke. I want to thank you for all the good times that we shared, and the laughs that we had. But most of all I want to thank you for accepting ME as I AM, and loving me ANYWAY! I will truly miss those faithful and considerate (and always funny) phone calls you made to me no matter what the holiday was. I will listen for the whisper in my ear instead for I know you are with us in spirit--until we meet again. May God bless you and ALL of your family. I love you David.
Love Always,
Cindy(Cinny)
