I met Dave on my mission, and we took our first trip back to Hermosillo together. We continued our friendship at SUU and worked together at Brianhead. Dave never ceased to amaze, whether playing on the SUU football team, or climbing Machu Pichu. There was only one Dave Sanders. I have some pictures of him from our '95 trip to Sonora, if anyone is interested.

Loss leaves us empty - but learn not to close your heart and mind in grief. Allow life to replenish you. When sorrow comes it seems impossible - but new joys wait to fill the void. - Pam Brown
