Dear Ellis Family,
We want to express our deepest sympthies at the lost of your beloved David. We remember what a wonderful young man he was as he delivered our papers each morning. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

I met D while he worked at the Dining Hall scooping the famed UMCP ice cream, and we bonded from there. I was surprised to find such an open-minded, free spirited individual and wanted to learn more about him. He was such a sweet person and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time; I hope that you are eased knowing how many lives he touched during his short stay in this life.

God Bless,

Rochelle & Family,
My deepest sympathy in the passing of your son, David. Although, I never met him personally, I had heard of his many accomplishments while in the West Windsor-Plainsboro schools. The African American Parent Support Group also would like to express their sincere condolences. May God give you the strength to endure your terrible loss.

Dear Rochelle and family,
I was devastated to receive the news, and I send all of you my deepest sympathies. Please know how much you're all in my thoughts and prayers.
With very much love,
Elaine

My prayers go out to the Ellis Family during this time. Dave and I went to West Windsor Plainsboro High School South together. He was always a joy to be around. He will be missed. Peace and Love to all family and friends of the Ellis family. Although we may not see it now, God has a plan.

I never met David, but seeing the story on the local news really touched my heart. I recently lost my sister in October, so I know how painful it is to lose someone so dear to your heart.
I also know that holding tight to your faith, and the memories of your loved one will help to pull you through. God Bless your family, and everyone that holds David in their hearts.

I have known dave since 1997 with his website on hip-hop. He was an amazing, hilarious, intellegent, and unique guy and he was my best friend. I am going to miss him a ton and my prayers are with him and his family.

Dear Rochelle:
Although no one can enter the place that your are at in your heart or your mind, Rose and I want you to know that we share your pain and that we send our love and support. You are in our hearts, our prayers, and on our minds since we received the news from Elaine. Love, Carol and Rose

My daughter Jenna graduated WW-P in 2002 along with Dave. She remembers him as a bright, artistic person. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
