David Lee Atherton

Dear Sharon,
We were sorry to read of Dave's passing. Had tried to find your family before but could not until Dave's obituary.
Dave was a good friend and a great student teaching roommate. Even though we had not had contact for years, it appears he had not changed from the Dave that we knew.
Please accept our heartfelt sympathies.
You are in our thoughts and prayers, Gary and Karen Christiansen

We are getting the word out to class members from Springville Class of 1957. We want his family to know that we send our sympathy and will miss him at our reunions. Love, Shirley Parker and all classmates.

To Sharon & family,

I pray that you all experience the very tangible comfort of The One sent to comfort us, The Holy Spirit, knowing this...'to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord.' David is home!

Although I am saddened to hear the news of his passing, it just reminds me that Heaven is our home and that our separation from our loved ones is brief. You have hope of an eternity with him in Heaven. He has absolutely gained!

I always found him to be...
