Ang,
I ask for yours and David's forgiveness. I never knew David was ill. I apologize from the depth of my heart. Jason probably did tell me of David's illness but I must have not heard him (one of my bad habits). I pass Acacia Cemetary to and from work daily and more and more flowers are left. He really touched many hearts. Although I didn't really know him, you both have touched my life in a way you will ever know. You and David were the parent figures to Jason most when he needed a mom and dad (during our divorce)and for that I am most grateful to you both. My prayers are with you and the boys forever. God will get you through this. Remember, "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it".
In Him Always,
Marj Canada

Aunt Angela, Nathan, Michael, and Taylor,
Our prayers and thoughts go out to you all during this difficult time. Words cannot express the sadness in our hearts for you, the boys. Uncle David fought such a long and hard battle with much courage. What a blessing to have had him in our family although for only a short time. A kind hearted, relaxed, friendly, happy, hardworking Uncle will be remembered in our hearts forever. I wish Uncle David had a chance to visit Montana like he had wished, but know this Aunt Angela, every time I see a beautiful sunset across the “Big Sky” I will think of him.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Jamie, Robert and Jazzmin
Billings, Montana
