Carolyn......I'm so very sorry for your loss. I remember when we taught together at Shady Lane Elementary how proud you were of David and all his accomplishments and rightly so. But you were the rock that helped David be successful.

To the Beebe Family;
It is with great sadness that I learned of David's passing. I worked with David for many years on the Board of Directors of the Arthritis Foundation. I greatly enjoyed and appreciated David's advice, courage, and sense of humor as he helped to guide the Foundation in its mission to find a cure for arthritis. May David's courage and the grace of God be with you and each of us as we grieve David's loss.
