Dear David and Family,
Your sweet dad just made the journey we all must take. We have no choice in whether to go or not, but we do have a choice in how we live. I never met your dad, but from all I have read and heard and the imprint he left on you, he must have been an outstanding individual! It is never easy to let them go. I'll never forget you coming to my precious Daddy's funeral in June. It meant a lot to me, David!

How sad to have lost such a dear sweet man. He and Doris were the first people I would see each Sunday morning when I went to the Colonial Heights Nursing Home. Such a sweet man with a beautiful smile. He will truly be missed.
