Not sure what to say?

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 will miss you my brother, David, especially your Laugh and funny stories. We enjoyed meeting you for lunch at several special places in Bama; especially enjoyed the Famous Mexican Connection in Dothan where you had sincere and loving co-workers.....Loved chatting about Sports and Politics every week with you....We both truly loved the Beach and being near water....loved your stories about your high school band and all the characters..dancing & Singing... 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 and his mom, Betty Gentry

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

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My prayers for Jesus to comfort all of you during this loss.

In loving memory of a wonderful person my big brother. We will love you and miss you always.
