Met you when I was 12 yrs old and Ada brought you over to meet her family. You loved my moms rice and beans. We fell in love with you and you turned out to be a fine example of a good husband, father and person. I was welcomed to your home warmly when I stayed to visit my aunt. I will cherish those memories of you.love, Jannet Santiago Baxter

I have loved you as a brother, my true friend Dave. I am thankful that we have shared so many beautiful memories. Being with your Ada, the day you met her at a dance. Both of you being so special, fell in love and asked me to be your maid-of-honor. A great honor for me at your beautiful wedding. We shared a lot of love and laughter. We became family. When my son Rob D. Crum was born, you both became his Godparents. You loved him and promised to stay in his life. God bless you all as you shared so much love and loyalty. I had been so afraid for my son, but Jesus blessed us all. I asked our Lord and you for help, and praise the Lord, you all bonded. I sincerely will always be grateful. Rob loves you very much and his friends and sibling: Ada, Stacie, Jennifer and Joey and family. Our hearts go out to you. So many beautiful memories. May they bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Love and Blessings,
Ana Crum Griesmer and family
