Colleen, Scott and Sarah, I am so sorry. Stunned. One of the perfect moments in my life was at the Cape with Dave and Colleen. Dave had just put a glass of wine in my hand, and electric heater at my feet and one of his amazing baked stuffed lobsters in front of me...pure bliss. He was such a wonderful man and I can't believe he is gone. I am living in Florida now but am with you all in my heart. Love always, Faith
