Not sure what to say?

Georgie, Kathy, Dana & Grandma Jane: I am so sorry for Uncle Dave's passing, but, also happy because he is no longer suffering and is now at home with our Father in Heaven. We will never forget him and the memories we all have will be in our hearts and minds forever. I pray the Lord will be with you always. Remember that he is now watching you always as an Angel in Heaven, and is probably celebrating with family and freinds gone before him - as well as golfing up there on God's golf...

Georgie, we are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We enjoyed knowing him. We hope that the good memories of him will give you strength at this most difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today Georgie----hope all the memories of the good times will carry you through. See you soon---

We all suffer with such a great loss with Uncle Dave's passing. Dave and Georgiana have been such wonderful examples of what good parents should be by their leading by example. Uncle Dave and I have shared the same interest for many years in the collector car hobby. We will all miss his positive attitude toward life. Our thoughts and prayers will be with his family during this difficult time as well as in the future.
