Dear Kathy,Mer,Donnie, and Beef,
David has been a part of my life since I was 14 years old. I have so many fond memories of our life together. The one that sticks in my mine the most is when he flocked our Christmans tree and more of the spray went on David and Donnie than on the tree. David and your family will always be in my prayers. He was the strongest person I have ever known. Peace be with you and your family.
Love, Patty (Lindenhurst,il)

Dear Aunt Kathy, Donnie, Mer and Keith: We are so sorry about the passing of Uncle David. He is truly the strongest person we have ever known. His outlook on life was so positive and uplifting. There were times, we really thought he was going to be the odds, but I guess God wanted him too much to let him stay here with us. You all are in our prayers to find the strength to get through this sad time. Love: Brian, Shawn and Dylan
