David , you were a new friend to me but it seem as if I had known you for a life time. We had good conversations and I really enjoyed talking to you. I am sorry, I did not get over as much as I had said I would ,but the times I did was GREAT. You will be missed Brother.

We wanted to ride Hwy 66 with you...

David was 13 years older than me. I was that pesky little sister that followed him everywhere. I am sure that I got on his last nerve! He never let on that I did. I am forever grateful for such sweet memories of my big brother. I will love this kind and gentle soul forever. Until we meet again...

David was 13 years older than me, so I was that pesky little sister that followed him around. I know I got on his last nerve, but he never made me feel that way. I am grateful for many childhood memories like that. He was a kind soul with a quick wit, who will forever be missed. Rest well, big brother. Much love from your baby sis.

David, as my first-born you were a delight to me. You gave me many laughs with your humor, and made holidays so special. You always sung "Happy Birthday" to me every year with your terrific voice. I will surely miss you but will have you in my heart. You're still here, but I know you are in a better place. Rest in Peace.
Love,
Mom
