Not sure what to say?

I so much enjoyed my cousin David's company on a "date" with him... he treated me to a lobster tail meal... and told me NOT to ruin it with ketchup! Hey, David, of course not! I miss you just because I see your picture here... and can't wait to have lobster tail with you in God's heaven. Love, Cousin Patsy

Dear Pam, Matthew, and Leah, may God be with you during this time of grief. It has been so very long since I saw you when you lived in Rockford, IL. You are in my prayers during...

We were lucky to share Dave's good-natured humor and his kindness. We will miss him.

Pam, I'm not sure if you remember we, but I worked at the Rice St. Clinic before you and am a friend of Dee Burnell's.
I was so sorry to hear about your husbands accident. Sending sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time.

I have the fondest memories (some of my very earliest) of your family as our neighbors. Matt was my dearest buddy growing up. Dave's smile and kindness is burned forever in my childhood mind and the way I think of him today. Or whole family is heartbroken to hear of this news and we send our love.

We were so saddened to hear the news. Dave was always a warm, friendly neighbor with a smile every time I walked by. He was always a great resource for anything mechanical and happy to assist. We had talked about riding together but never got to it.
Thanks for making our neighborhood great! You will be missed!

We want to express our sympathy and let you know that our thoughts are with you.

We are heartbroken to hear about the loss of my dear Uncle David. The memories of him will live on in our hearts. Much love to his wife, children, and grandchildren.

We always knew when spring arrived, because the garage door would go up and we could see what winter Harley projects Dave had been working on. Dave was so patient with our boys Alex & Derek when they were young. They would go over to see what project he was working on and he would always stop to talk with them, let them use his tools and he made sure they had on ear protection and googles. Birch Ridge Road will be a quieter street without the sound of Dave's Harley Davidson, but that is the...
