David L. Cornell

Dear Gwen and family, It's been good to have had contact with Wendy and Rosemary these days. We want to express our condolences to you all as a family, but especially to Gwen. We spent 18 months at headquarters when we were candidates back in 1961-62. We have many wonderful memories of our time there. David was good at articulating and he was a good leader and a good speaker too. We remember when he spoke at Bethany Fellowship also. Evan and Bea Grahn

Dear Cornell family,

Pastor Dave was such an encouragement to me and all the saints in the North Berwick church, while he served as our interim pastor. I pray the certainty of heaven and the blessed hope of our Lord's return will give you comfort and peace.
In deepest sympathy,

Dear Gwen and Family,
I can't begin to share even the funniest, most serious, nor most precious memories of the 20+ years of Dave as a co-worker in the vision of sharing the Gospel to the ends of the earth. I always admired his courage in standing for what he believed was the right course even when it was contrary to those who had a more authoritative office than he. I admired this trait above all the other admirable gifts and traits he possessed: Hard worker; Generous spirit; Dogged...

Dear Gwen and family,
You would remember me(and Duane)from both candidate days at WEC headquarters and later, Gwen. Even though we've had few opportunities in recent years to keep in touch, there is this strong bond in Christ. My own loss of Duane nearly 15 years ago gives me some experience to say, "My heart goes out to you." I thank God for your family who attentively looks after you and that is such a blessing. The mystery of heaven leaves us wondering how the Lord welcomes His...

Dear Gwen and Family:
My name is Bill Johnston and I came to Camp Hill in Oct. '54 and left for Trinidad in Dec. '55. With my wife, Evelyn and two children, we lived in the Long Dorm. I remember Dave as pleasant and always good for a laugh. He seemed to be involved in many things and was on the road a lot, so he was always in a hurry. He loved the work and he also loved his family even though he never had enough hours in the day. You, Gwen, showed a lot of patience and both of you...

Dear Gwen, I learned of Dave's homegoing through Martyn and Sharon. I send my deep sympathies to you. You and Dave had a wonderful long life together - he'll be greatly missed.

I remember first meeting you and at Dave US hq and admiring you both for the way you brought up your family in the confines of Camp Hill. Later Dave came to visit us in the Arab Emirates, he blew in and out like a dynamo - visiting, filming and interested in all that was going on. Lastly, our joy knew...

Dear Gwen, how lucky we are to have enjoyed Dave's love of the Lord. How wonderful a man he was. May you know that you are prayed for. God is good. His love for us is such a blessing. In Christ
