David Edward McCarver

Sincerely.

"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge across is love."
David's love for all of us, whose lives he blessed, sent forth a pure energy that has touched me forever. His courage, his acceptance and his faith in God blessed us all. It is my hope that we all now live through David and view our worlds with his enthusiasm and with his certain belief that all that happened to him was part of God's plan. It was a plan David did not question. One that instead, he...
