Autumn, I find myself somewhat speechless. The few times I met up with you and David, at family functions, was always fun for me. I enjoyed talking with David about our shared interests in the outdoors and motorcycling. May you find comfort in the love and support of your family and many friends; especially including me.

Love,

cousin Tony

Dearest Autumn,

I only now heard the news about your sweet dear David. Both Michael and I are so sorry for your loss. I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our brief time with him during Elaine's birthday party. He was so proud of his BBQ and it was so much fun to watch him share his home and BBQ secrets with everyone. I loved sitting next to him at the dinner Friday night: his repartee and charming smile and your love for

each other was so obvious. How wonderful that you found each other, even if your time together was brief.

We just want you to know we love you and are thinking about you.

Jamie and Michael

Our deepest heartfelt sympathy for the transition of David. We will always remember him as a beautiful soul that matched his incredible handsome looks. His smile, laugh, charisma and charm always made us feel welcome and loved. Our family is richer for having him in it, we feel blessed for having known him.

Much love,

Cyndee, Vince, Alexi and Bella Overland
