To: Rosalyn, Ms. Billie, Danyelle, and Stephanie - please know that Chester and I are praying fervently for all of you and the family. Bro. Liggins was always there with a smile and such a humble man; always willing to help. We will certainly feel his leaving us - but because we know Jesus - we will see him again. We will continue to lift you all in prayer. Cry and scream as much as you all may need too - the Lord will wipe away all your tears. Our Lord can supply all of your needs. Chester & Carolyn Wilson

My heart dropped when I got the news. David you were like another daddy/uncle to me. You talked to me about so much when I felt like I had no one else to listen and understand. I remember the last time I talked to you and the words you said"RayTonyia, I'm proud of you and the woman you have become, I love you!" Those were the last words I heard from you...you were part of our family and we will truly miss you! My heart goes out to Roselyn and the girls. Be strong and pray for strength and know that David is always with you in spirit. He loved you all so much...I pray for healing, peace and strength for all who has been effected by his passing. "Liggo" you are FOREVER in all of our hearts! I love you and will miss you but I will see you in glory land!
