Dear Brenda, Dave and Family,
We were so sorry to learn today about David's passing. Beth read an article on Westside School's bulletin board just today. We must have missed his obituary in our paper here since my own father, Calvin "Ben" Fulton, passed away on Thursday, September 4.
I know David was a good husband, father and grandfather and that all of you will miss him greatly!
I will always remember his lovely smile and laughter.
Please know our thoughts and prayers include all of you. God bless.
