Judy,

We were very sad to heart of David's passing and you and the Kid's will be in our prayers and thoughts. Anyone that knew David knew how much he loved his Family as he spoke of you guys with incredible love and respect.

He was a good friend and his kindness and generosity were apparent in all he did in life.

I'll cherish his memory always and all the golf days and golfing trips we took together with the Boys.

Please let us know if we can do anything during this very difficult time, but rest assured he is watching over his Family of this I have no doubt.

Dear Slaughter family,
We are saddened to learn of David's death, and our hearts go out to you all.
David was a fine man, and a LOT of fun to grow up with in N.Richland Hills. I count myself very fortunate to have had Dave as a childhood friend.
May God bless you and comfort you as you adjust to life on earth without Dave.
Peace,
