Dear Family Members,
I consider my childhood years spent with David to have been unforgetable. I just learned of Davids passing and I am saddened above what any words can express.
I will always remember him and all of the great times we had growing up as friends.

David's laughter and personality will truly be missed by all that he came in contact with. I met David several years ago through a good friend of mine that worked with him at Auto Zone. He was always making everyone laugh and don't forget the good food he was always making. They say people come in and out of your life for a reason, a season, and a lifetime. David truly blessed everyone he met with always a smile and a joke. The people he met were for a lifetime.

Words can not express how much I will miss you. Through the good times and the bad we remained the best of friends. Over the many years we've known each other, we only grew closer as steadfast friends. I will miss you calling to check on me and always telling me that everything will be all right. You knew me better than anybody. I'm so glad we had out time together. I will cherish every memory. Oh, how I wish things had been different and God hadn't taken you from us. I know you will not let me down. You will be looking after me just like you said you would. This is not goodbye, it's only until we meet again.
My prayers are with your family.
With a heart that is broken and with much love,
Sandy

Mr Holmes,
My prayers and deepest sympathies are with you and your family at this time. Your love and devotion to David were obvious to me in our conversations during David's treatments. I feel fortunate to have met you both.
