Dear Jackie and children,

How saddened I am to hear of David's

passing. He was a wonderful person and he loved you all so much.He loved God and his Church family and friends. He will be missed so much by everyone who knew him. He counseled me on several occassions when I visited your church and helped me tremendously. He could see and feel my pain.

What a life to model your own after.

He was my grandson's god-father(Isaiah Chambers). We loved him and will always keep him dear to our hearts.

Stay strong and know that you had a wonderful husband and father in your life.



Sincerely,

Fannie Watermann(Lisa's mom)
