To Dave's family and friends,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Dave from a long time ago - and a smile comes to my face when I do. Just looking at his picture brings back a lot of good memories. I'm sorry that I lost touch. I only found out this morning of his passing. He was a good man.

Sally and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dave's death! It has been awhile since I have seen all of you but I have such fond memories of all of you at Godfrey! This picture captures him the way I most remember him. I was out of town for a week, or I would have stopped in to pay my condolences. You are a great family--one we are proud to have as part of our Godfrey Lee family! My thoughts, and prayers are with all of you!
God Bless!
