Not sure what to say?

David was one of my greatest friends!! He told me about his nickname Davey!! I said my Grandpa called me cupcake. He was with my family and I alot in CO. He loved me amd my husband and two kids. I had hoped that someday he would have showed up at my front door so I could have made him breakfast again. My kids loved him and I still don't have the heart to tell them that he is gone. He opened up to me more than anyone he ever worked with here. I miss him so much and think about him every...

Mint and Dean:There is comfort in God's presence. May you feel him near today and in the future. You are in my prayers at this time of sorrow. We love you. Jeanne and family.

Dave was a bright, talented, sensitive and caring individual. I was proud to call him one of my closest friends. So many of his classmates have sorely missed him since he headed west and we will continue to remember him fondly. I will always regret having lost touch with such a gifted human being. Rest in peace, brother.

To our dear friends Mint & Dean ~ Our thoughts and prayers are with you with the loss of your son Dave. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." "Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by." Please know that we are those friends and just a phone call and only a few hours away...

Mint and Dean, please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your son and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
