David, while our time on earth is short and I miss you, it is comforting to know that you'll be there when my turn to cross the river comes. I look forward to the day when, we, as friends, will meet again. I am truly a better man for having known and worked with you. Rest in the arms of our Savior, for you have earned that. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His almighty hand. Jim Fraley
