David always smiled when he came into the classroom, and that will remain one of my favorite memories of him. He was one of the nicest students I had the opportunity to work with and he grew into a fine young man. He was a joy to know and to be around. I don't know why the Lord sees fit to take the youngest and the best, but sometimes He does. I hope you will find comfort in knowing how much David will be missed by everyone and in knowing that David will be loooking down and watching over all of you.

Kim and Justin,

It has been many years since I have seen you all, and our friend, Lisa Fisher Smith, told me about David's passing. I am so sorry. We had so many memories of growing up in Travis Avenue, and I am thankful that David knew Christ, and is with him. We will lift you up in prayer, and pray for God's comfort to you all in this time.

With much love,

Linda Gursky Haley,

Kim, Justin, Nancy, Lee, Nancy Kay, and Doug. We were so sad to hear of David's passing. I have many memories of David when we were younger and they are all very good. There is assurance that we will all see David again in heaven. We hope God;s compassion pours over your family at this time of grief. We love each of you.
