Dear Rita and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of dispair. God will bring you through it with strenght and love. Mr. Poore was a good man, I can recall our horse riding days, he always told me he was going to put a seat belt on my saddle! May the Lord be with you all now today and the days to come, but have comfort knowing he is no longer in pain.....

Aunt Rita and family,
Please know how sorry I am to hear of David's passing. He taught me a great many things about dairy farming. I loved to milk the cows with him. And then set under the big shade tree when his work was done. I know how close you all are and how he will be missed. May God reach down and wrap his arms around you and bring you comfort as you travel through this time of mourning.

Rita & family,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this very hard time. Try to remember the good times and there were many. One thing I know is he loved you and those kids with all his heart and soul.
I know how hard it is to watch a loved one suffer. I love what the obituary said about he has gone to meet his heavenly father. Just think of the reunion he is having in heaven. If there is anything I can do please let me know....
