Not sure what to say?

Wow, we always think we have more time, I did when I googled you to get in touch, I'm so sorry, I had no idea, it hit me hard this week to see your obituary. You have that special place I rarely give anyone on the shelf labeled "best friend”, only 3 people are allowed on that shelf so far and you are one of them. I could go on and on about how sorry I am we lost touch, but that doesn’t make up the years. During the years we knew each other so much happened, you helped me move... more than...

It still feels unreal a year later. In the little time I knew you, you brought smiles, you brought excitement, you brought joy. I hope you are at peace, sending those things from heaven.

David was my editor and friend. Since I haven't heard from him, I went looking. I am so very sorry that he has died. So very sorry.

Dear Dave, Rhesa, and June, both Craig and I hold you all in our hearts and prayers.

David my dear nephew, it seems you have left us too soon, but God does all things well. Such fond memories when you and the family would be on furlough. Then when you were in college you spent time with me over the summer. Then you moved to Colorado Springs and eventually I did also. How can count the things you have done for me. I miss you very much--I love you. Aunt June

Dave and Rhesa, I am sorry for the sadness and emptiness that is in your lives and hearts with Davids passing. I could always see the love he had for your family, and feel that your love kept him close to God. May you have comfort with him being now with your mom, and being at peace.

So sorry to hear of the passing of David. He was a very nice and friendly person . I knew him at Faith Academy in the Philippines during our high school years. May the family find peace and comfort during this most difficult time.

Sorry for your loss. I spent a few of my early years in class with David at Faith. While there is many I do not recall I do remember David. One particular moment was him running and getting /giving the biggest hug to his mum. May God comfort your wounded hearts in his passing and know the hands of our God of grace and mercy around you.

My condolences to the family. David wil be truly missed. He made my days at Faith and was an amazing person to be around.
