I'm very sorry for your loss. I know it is not easy. May you find comfort knowing one day we will all be together again. John 3:16. For god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

We are very sorry for your and our loss. I always enjoyed talking with Dave as an adult and remembering him when I was a kid. A good, good man with a wonderful family legacy. Our deepest sympathies to his family. Leonard and Debbie Jenkins

Carol & the rest of the Jenkins family: I'm so sorry for your loss. For a short time in my life, your house was a second home for me. I always felt very welcomed, and a part of the family. Those years will always hold special memories to me.
God's peace to you all during this difficult time.
