To the family. Our brother-in-law is George Lynch in Santa Ana, Ca. Please accept our sincerest condolences for your loss. Our thoughts are with you all. We met David a few times, but really did not get a chance to really talk to him. I know he served bravely in the Special Forces in Vietnam, and thank him for his service.

I didn't live in Des Moines long enough to develope a strong friendship with you but I reconnected with you at Alina's farewell and then FaceBook allowed us to rekindle again. I enjoyed the few comments we traded as it allowed me to meet your wonderful family. I spoke with you the night before you left this world and went on to your Heavenly home. I was to call you back in the morning, but by then you decided it was time to go. Rest in Peace, cousin. I will be staying in touch with your family and lending my strength when and if it is ever needed. <3
