Joyce, my deepest sympathy to you and your family on David's passing. I was a high school classmate of his and we reconnected
and exchanged e-mails for quite some time (until my computer
cratered) and I thoroughly agreed with and enjoyed his political
views. He had sent me photos of you and the family and I enjoyed
meeting you in that way. Another classmate told me yesterday about
David and I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. He was a
great guy!! Ann Smartt, Snyder, TX

Dear Joyce,

Shirley was kind enough to share that David recently passed. I was with Shirley when you were visiting Bill and Nettie.

My thoughts, prayers and Blessings are with you during this difficult time. Thinking of you and you family.

I am glad to know you are at peace, but I am sad to know that leaves us - especially Joyce - in this world without you. Thank you for touching my life. Nobody can talk about the Grand Tetons and make me laugh like you could. I know it's been years, but you've always been in my heart. Rest peacefully, David, and enjoy your next journey, whatever it may be.
