David and family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I pray that you will find peace in this difficult time.

Deepest sympathy to David's family. David & I share a common bond as United Methodist ministers. More importantly, we are likely related as my mother's maiden name is Camden. Her father was William Carrington Camden with connections in Amherst & Nelson Counties.
David was a preacher of the Gospel with a deep and abiding faith. He had genuine concern for others. May the members of his family be comforted in knowing that he is safely home in Heaven and that others are praying for their comfort.

David, I am truly sorry for your loss.
But remember this;
Your Dad is with the creator, and it doesn't get any better than that.
