David I remember you most when you were my little neighbor. You were a happy and wild much loved little cutie. Always tagging along with your big brother.
You both played with my son and on any given day you were all best pals or at war like little guys are.
Please watch over your mom and your daughter and sister. And tag along with your brother.

My sweet baby cousin, I loved babysitting David when he was little... the first poopy diaper I ever changed was his.. it was rough.. but I handled it! The experience, not the poop. I remember him squeezing half of a bottle of ketchup onto his plate and I told him that we can’t waste all of that ketchup, and he proceeded to lick his plate clean, hiding all of the evidence that I was a horrible babysitter for trusting a 2 year old to do his own portion control. David and Christopher LOVED...
