Not sure what to say?

David was a good man and he is still missed. I am glad to say that we knew each and Matthew, too.

Dear Delores,
I am saddened to hear of David's passing.
Mom had told me about him taking chemo treatments and I was waiting to hear good things from that. I have many fond memories from my younger days at Lake Tillery with David as a role model. Even then he was a good example of how to live your life and treat people with kindness.
Everyone who has had David touch their lives will miss him dearly.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,
Gary Greene

I am so sorry for your loss. The very short time that I knew you and your family during my middle school years at Fall Creek Elementary to my Forbush High School years... Matthew, yourself, and David were always very kind. I remember him always making time to hear me ramble on about all sorts of things after Pilot View services.

I appreciate you and your family. I will continue to think of you and everyone your family has touched.

Delores,
David's death caught me by surprise. He was a good man and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days and nights ahead.

Dear Delores,

We were so sorry to hear about David's passing. We were also not aware of Matthew's passing in 2012 until we saw David's obituary. You will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days to come. God bless!

I am so sorry Delores. Please know I am praying for you and your family.

Delores,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss.

Delores, My thoughts and prayers are with you through this time of sorrow.
So sorry. love you Reba
