I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.
Dave, you are a strong, powerful, funny, special person. I am so blessed to have you in my life and to have a person I can confide in! If I was ever to have an older brother in life, I think he would be similar to YOU! I have learned so much from you! Don't pause to call me for anything. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I am sorry we missed the funeral. I know Dad had planned to come. But, I didn't know about it until just now. Us girls have been taking turns staying with Dad (Bob Evans) since mom's passing last month. I just got home from his house this evening. I had a friend whose 22 yr. old son was admitted into the hospital Wed. afternoon with a severely leaking heart valve. Larry & I took her down to Portsmouth to be with her son in the hospital and didn't get back until 1:30 am Thurs, then I went to Dad's and got there at 2 am. Since Dad doesn't have internet access I just got the info about the funeral. I really am sorry we missed it. We had planned to come.
