Dear Lyda,
I'm so sorry to learn about David's death. It was really wonderful to see you in Lynchburg in October after so many years. I can't ride down Plymouth Place without thinking about the Roysters. Please give my best regards to the rest of your family.

To the Family of David Royster,
I was so sorry to hear of this, I worked with David many years ago at the Altavista Adult Home. David was such a joy, his smile and his kind heart always made my day. I would see David from time to time and I would get a great big hug from him. I will miss him very much. He was a true blessing and may God bless you and comfort you at this time.
