Most Precious Darlene ~ Kevin ~ Nikki ~ The Grandchildren ~ The Entire Family ~~
Our prayers, our thoughts, our love is with all of you as you take this journey that the Good Lord has put before you. May His peace completely consume you and may He bring His healing to you ~ ever so swiftly.
Amongst those who greated Dave at Heaven's Gate, wouldn't be surprised to know that Kibby was the first one there. Can you just imagine the trouble the two of them will get into now!?!
You are loved and we are here for you ~ no matter what ~ no matter when.
All our Love ~

Darlene & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I'll miss passing Dave 10 times per day; or sitting on our porches waving; his laughing at little Safire making me chase her around the court; good memories of shoveling snow & cutting tree limbs; your beautiful yard & home remodeling he showed Dona & me when Teylor was selling candy bars for band ~ he was so proud; seeing him running across the front yards dialing 911 when the VW caught fire last summer. Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need ANYTHING ~ we are here for you & will find a way. Take care ~

Your neighbors & friends,

Cindy, Mark & Family
