Deepest sympathy to David's family. David & I share a common bond as United Methodist ministers. More importantly, we are likely related as my mother's maiden name is Camden. Her father was William Carrington Camden with connections in Amherst & Nelson Counties.
David was a preacher of the Gospel with a deep and abiding faith. He had genuine concern for others. May the members of his family be comforted in knowing that he is safely home in Heaven and that others are praying for...
