Rhetta and Ron, upon returning from my trip to Cancun, I learned of David's passing. I loved your Dad like my own Dad. He always could make me smile and laugh and bring happiness to the unit. I am sorry I could not attend the services but I was out of the country. I will hold him in my heart forever. He was very special to me and will never be forgotten. Sincerly, Mary Ann
