To all family members, we just heard about this today from another friend...we were visiting Ohio last week. We saw David at the reunion, and were so shaken to hear this news, today. He has been a friend since Elementary school, and we lived down the street from him. We will never forget his amazing personality, and beautiful smile. God bless you all..Cynthia and Mark Starr

Sherri, Erika & Andrea:
I am so sorry about your loss. A friend of mine once told me to always cherish my memories...think of them as flashes of what is to come as well as the past for God promises to make them a reality again. Think of Dave that way. I hope that this is a comforting thought for you and the family.
My love to you all.
