I've worked with Dave for such a short time, but I feel blessed that he was here to help me when I had questions regarding genealogy and the use of the WikiTree tool. I pray for strength and comfort to his family during this difficult time.

Hi Sharon, I am so heart broken for you that your son has passed away. I remember how proud you always were talking about him. I know it's been years but I am here for you if you would like to call me sometime. I know. I am guessing you are probably living in Iowa? I am living in WA State with my daughter Tara & her family.
