You were my absolute favorite. I appreciate how much you were there for me without question wherever I needed you. I appreciate how much you were in my life when I was growing up. I've got countless memories and for that I am so thankful. I take comfort knowing Kelli showed you true happiness and love before you said goodbye to us and I'll always love her for that. Goodbye uncle David and I love you aunt Kelli
