Bart Leslie and Abby,
My thoughts and prayers are with you always. I have so many amazing memories of babysitting David, and Abby. I wish there was something more I could do or say; just know I will always remember him as the caring, smart, and creative boy he was.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. My deepest condolences on your loss.

Bart, Leslie and Abby - our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you as you navigate this untraveled ground. It is so apparent that David was an incredible kid, a great brother and a wonderful son. It is in this way, he will live in our hearts. Many hugs,
