Dear Grandpa,
I'm sorry I lied to you when I said I had swallowed my barret because you wouldn't buy me a 7-UP. Getting me the 7-UP would have been a lot easier than the trip to the hospital. I'll never tell Grandma you bought me the soda the next time I saw you.
Love always,
Your little fat tamale

Dave and I are so very sorry we could not attend David's services today.
We want to exprress our sadness at your loss. And let you know our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
We so enjoyed our visits to California to visit my Nephew Mike, his beautiful wife Margo and our Princess Isabella. We were always welcomed in David's home. He was a great story teller. I loved listening to him tell his storie. Dave and I had hopes David would someday come with his family to visit us here in Utah.
We are so glad we did get to visit with David on the 4th of July. He was so happy with all of his family and friends there with him.
Before we left. He called us over to say goodbye. I gave him a kiss and he told me we would meet again. I sooo believe him.
I hope David is enjoying his Utah belt buckle.
Love Dave and Donna Dischbein
