Dear David and Donna- I am so sorry for your loss and for having to go through this terrible experience. As David's nurse, I feel that I got to really know him as a person and how important he was and still is to your family. I am thankful for the oppurtunity to meet you; hopefully if we meet again it will be in better circumstances. Take care and with deepest sympathy!

Donna, Dave and Brendan:

First, please accept our deepest sympathies. David's passing has come as shock to all. I knew David briefly from Monday night basketball pickup at HCA, but in those few moments I felt like I knew him all my life. My heart has hole that I hope can be mended with time. He will be missed by the gang from Monday night, but NEVER forgotten.

I'm sure he will be watching over us.

You are surrounded by the love and strength of your family, friends and God, as you surrounded your son with your love. I wish you peace and will continue to pray for you all.

Dave and Donna,
Our son, Rob, played T ball with David when they were very little and was aware of his accident through Facebook. We are all so very sorry for your tragic loss and no words can adequately convey our sympathy. I am sure Dave is in heaven right now looking down at all of you and will be a wonderful intermediary for your family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

There are no words that can express how sorry I am you have had to experience such a terrible loss. If there is any comfort in knowing that there are many people out here that want to help in anyway that we can, know that it is true. We don't see much of one another but do not let that be a reason to not ask for anything at all. Much love to you all.
