Samantha and David,
Although I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out. I've heard God has a plan. I tend to not believe any of these tragedies had anything to do with God. But just in case, I can't wait to see the direction HE takes you both. I depend so much on FAITH, so, hang-on to your faith and please don't give up.

David and Samantha,

You are both in our thoughts and prayers during this time.

I also remember Mike when he helped us out with the Cortez Band whether it was carrying out gear to the field, getting water for the band students or repairing the RED bleacher covers. Just as Keith Kerns mentioned Marilyn and Mike are one of the most proud parents in heaven. My family is very fortunate to have had the blessing of being able to have met them and gotten to know them even though only for a short while. They will never be forgotten and will always be in our thoughts.

Samantha and David even though the Cortez Band days are forever etched in our memories we will always be here for you both because you both have been etched in our hearts as your mom and dad have been...

I got to know Mike when we worked together helping out with the Cortez HS Marching band. He was always eager to do what ever needed to be done to help out with the band's needs. I know that both He and Marilyn are very proud of you Samantha & David. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
