Dear Judy - I learned of David's passing from the Loudoun Times Mirror. I am not sure if you remember me or not, it's been so many years. I was so sad to hear of David's passing. My dad passed away 3 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him so much. May the memories of David bring you comfort in time.
Hugs

Dearest Judy ~
I've had you on my mind and have kept you in my heart since receiving your message about David's passing. I wish I could be close enough to hug you and tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I will cherish my cross with an even deeper appreciation and love for it. David and I were junior high and high school friends, and he was one of the best friends a person could have. He was humorous, kind and had a heart of gold. I will keep you in my daily prayers. Please keep...

Judy,
I'm thinking of both you and Dave during this difficult time. He was a great guy and was so easy to know. Always a fun time with both of you. He's not in pain anymore and can now be with all of us all the time. We have one more angel on our side up there. Love you both!

Judy, I will never forget the kindness Uncle Dave showed me as a scared young woman in a difficult spot and how the three of us shared a home across the miles during Hurricane Wilma. You both have touched my life in so many positive ways that I can ony be greatful for the friendship and sorry that we were never able to share a beer together. I light a candle and a cigar for a wonderful man and offer you my sincerest sympathy during this diffucult time. Love, Karla

Judy, I have no words to comfort you...just know I'm thinking of you. David was one of the nicest people I ever met. He made everyone feel at ease and you would think he knew you forever. His sense of humor was incredible. He will be sorely missed.

Judy, Keith and I are so sorry for the loss of David. He was a great man and would help you out in any way he could if you asked. You could call him and ask any question about the Town of Leesburg from years ago and he would have the answer. I am sure he is playing with Ozzie and Harriet in heaven. We will miss him. I hope you find peace knowing that he is no longer in pain and is in a better place.
Love, Keith and Janice Kitzmiller
