David will be sorely missed. He was all heart, and showed inspiration to survive and live to the fullest. I'll never forget David's request for help to make a video of his singing to sell to raise money for stroke camp and stroke groups. He even sold these to the toll booth operators as he paid his tolls!

So sorry to hear of DG's passing. The Stroke camp has lost it's opening act. He was largely responsible for the Saturday night festivities. We could count on him for a number or 2. He will be greatly missed as no one will be able to fill his shoes.

I always felt your sincerity when you told me you were praying for us. Terrie and I are both so grateful for that. We had such a nice visit in the U.P. In March. This is hard to believe. But now I know you are with my angel and our our place of destiny just got a bit brighter. Rest In Peace until we meet again.
