To the Sammons family-

My husband and I are so sorry for your loss. We live around the corner and Dave would always offer us fresh vegetables from his garedn in the summer.

I would often go by my dinning room window and catch a glimpse of him sitting on the front porch checking out the neighborhood. I think he was our unofficail block watch patrol.

We'll miss not seeing his presence and his absence will be noticed.

May he rest eternally in God's loving arms.

Sincerely-Diana Gall and Eric Flint
