Not sure what to say?

Dear Kathy,

I just hope you get through this difficult, oh so hard, time of loss. I send all my love, Lucy Burrows

I didn't know you well but have to mention the wonderful gift you gave a young disabled boy several years ago. You volunteered to give him a ride around the track at Thunderhill. You explained the racing line for each turn and speed it could be taken. You treated him as an adult. After the ride he said to me. "When I came today I didn't believe I would ever ride around a race track." The look on his face and the excitement he felt brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Dave for being such...

I always enjoyed talking with Dave. He was a fine gentleman and he will be missed by all who knew him.

So many thoughts and too few words. With heartfelt sympathy and love.

Katy,
My prayers are with you and the memories will sustain you. Dave sounded like a fine man, husband, father and friend. "... and he came into your life."
