I am saddened to hear of Diane and family's loss and the loss of my friend. Although I moved far from Augusta, I will always remember the friendship that David and I enjoyed. David was the best man in my wedding, he and Diane traveled to Texas to be in the wedding. He was a good man and a great friend. I will see you in heaven brother!

Diane, I have thought of you and David often over the years since my retirement from Bank of America. I always enjoyed your visits through the drive in. We were so shocked to see David's obituary when we opened the paper. I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you and Alex and Matt but I pray that God may wrap his loving arms around the three of you and give you the comfort you need in this time of sorrow. We will pray for you and your family. With love, Gene and Barbara
