David was a great father to our children, and a greater grandfather. I know he is in a better place and would want all of us to go foward in helping others just like his example. If I can do anything for any of you please get in touch.

Heaven just welcomed an angel with open arms. We were only blessed to know David for six months, and everyday was enjoyable. Our heart and prayers go out to Gail and his loved ones in this time of sorrow and our prayers are will them all. I will always remember the completed rugs he showed us. They were all so beautiful and I know how much he enjoyed doing them. Now he is hooking rugs for heavens walls. We will miss our coffee and cake visits, we love you David. To Gail: our sincerest sympathy
