David Simms Lillard

Dear Lillard Family,
I am so saddened by the news of David's death. I will always re-
member the great times we had together with everyone from the youth group as teens and am really glad some of us were able to reunite three years ago. David was a wonderful guy and I'm happy to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Bev, Diane Safranek called us and told us the sad news. It brought back happy memories of our friendship and days gone by at Farmland where Dave and I worked together, when we went on the trail ride in the Ozarks and take our motorcycles on Sunday afternoon rides. You truly have Cindy and my sympathy.

Dear Bev and girls: It was just yesterday I was cleaning old photo albums and boxes of old Christmas cards. There were many photos of the Lillards when you lived in NE. I got to wondering where you were living so I "googled" your name and David's obituary came up. We couldn't believe it. We know it has been years since we exchanged Christmas cards, but we talk about you often. You were both so very special to us. Please accept our sincere sympathy at this time of loss. We hope you...

Dear Dave and Mardel,

We were sorry to learn of David's untimely passing. Please accept our condolences and know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

We shall be making a donation in David's memory to LaBelle Baptist Church.

Dear Lillard Family,

It was with great sorrow that I learned of David's passing.

We attended the same church and shared many happy experiences with the youth group. As 15 year olds, David, Steve, John and I would sit around a table, smoke cigars and play cards at the Pastor's house. We thought we were pretty cool.

Though I lost touch with David while we were still in our teens, reading David's accomplishments and his love for his family is very much in keeping with my...

Dearest Lillard Family,
I was so very sorry to hear of David's passing. Even though so many years have passed it seems like just yesterday that we enjoyed life together. My memory of David is a truly good one and I know that I have been enriched thanks to his presence in my life. I am so glad for our "reunion" a few years ago and I will forever be grateful for the bond created at church and beyond. My thoughts and prayers of gratitude will include my friend and his family for years to...

Dear Beverly, Rachel, and Heather

I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. No words will soften the impact to your family, just know you are surrounded by wonderful friends and family and are in our thoughts and prayers in your time of need.

Dear Lillard Family.....
My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the entire family.....
I feel that I have lost a true friend and brother.

David and I go way back to childhood days! I remember going to his house and playing "cowboys and indians" with David. Even then all he could talk about was wanting to be a cowboy and farmer and continue the work on his families farm!!...He truly did live his dream!!

We always had fun with the church youth group and what fun we...

Dave, Mardel and family

I was deeply saddened to learn of your great loss. Our families go back for so many years. Our families were friends at the CCCC when we first came to KC and our friendship spans 50 years. You are in my thoughts and prayers through this extremely difficult time. Bob Kennedy
