David was a very special and compassionate person. I will miss his smiling face, his words of encouragement, hugs, and those prayers that he lifted towards heaven on my behalf. David, you go rest high on that mountain and be with your Lord free from pain. I will never forget you. I will cherish the memories I have in my heart until we meet again.
