Dear Helton Family,
I will never forget David. He was a very special person that always had a smile on his face. I remember the first car that I ever had and he painted it for me. He was a man of character and his strength encourages me. He will be missed, but we will see him again. He's the blessed one, he beat us out of this old world.

My prayers are with all of you, remembering our families worshiping to-gether at the Old White Green Valley Baptist Church. Many fond memories of Bill & my Bill when they greeted each other when we got to church on Sunday morning, always had something amusing to share. It's hard to lose our loved ones, but God gives you comfort with memories and love for your David and know he's at rest.
