To Dave & Family,
Now is the time for all those memories that you made over the years to fill those quiet times. Pass them on to Miles so he has them as he grows older to keep his grandfather in his memory forever too. Our prayers continue to lift you up in this time of loss. We love you. Tanya & Mary
