Savannah is almost 23 and...

Although I did not know David that well, I understand how terrible something like this can be. My prayers are with the family.

To the family and friends of David Franks, I am so sorry for your loss. I have lost one of the best friends I have ever had. I have only know David for 12 years, but it seems like forever. David was one of the most truly genuine people I have ever known. He always listened to what you were saying, whether good or bad, but he always knew what you were trying to say. He could read between the lines, and truly cared about the message. I remember when I first met David, he was a framer and I was...

We are saddened beyond words. We will miss David. He was a very special person and life-long friend. Our deepest condolences go out to his family.

Dave has a special place in my heart. His smile and kind words will always remain with me.
I will miss him.

Merle, Looking at the pictures of David tonight, made me think back to when he was born, what a mess of black hair. Such a beautiful baby and he grew into a handsome man. I cannot begin to know the pain you are feeling right now, but just to let you know that my heart is breaking for you and how very much you are loved and how much we will all miss David. As we have told you we are here for you anytime. Just a phone call away. We Love YOu
