I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I know he has suffered for quite a while and I find comfort in that he is no longer suffering. I will always remember him joking around with everybody. I was David's only first cousin on our fathers' side of the family - even as a child he loved to tickle me and joke around. He called me Sis or Janx. I am left with the memory of feeding him a meal several months back and he enjoyed it so much - he ate every bite. He told me that when he died he wanted tulips. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of David's passing-. I remember how David always was joking and trying to make people laugh. May you find comfort in knowing that he is now in peace, and has no health problems. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
