Rocco, I can't believe that you're gone. I just found out the other day. I remember Tuesday nights at Queen of Heaven young adult groups. The good old days, and when we the twins Vert and Valencia, Grace and myself went to the mountains and had lunch and ate hotdogs we made around the fire. Laughing now about the hotdog that was put on the stick not the right way and it fell in the fire. LOL

David always had a fun and sweet spirit. He was an encourager and he never gave up. Sad that he is gone, but glad
that his suffering is over. Thank God for the many years we all had the privilege to know him.
Much love and many prayers to the Rocco family.
Richard & Gloria Roybal.
