Lana, I loved caring for David. He had such a beautiful spirit. During my visits I would always ask the same questions. You know, how are you feeling, when was your last BM, ETC. On one of my visits I came in, sat down and was getting my computer ready and David said, yesterday. I was puzzled, so I asked what happened yesterday, my last BM. I hope you don't mind my sharing this story but when I think of David, I always think of think story. GOD BLESS Lana!

Always one of the bright spots at Oak Grove. He and Danny Karter could generate a smile and were examples of how to live with adversity. There are other bright spots, just need to find them, but for now, missing Dave.
