Val, and John~ As I walk through the halls of Midlakes I noticed one thing the school has become very quite and not as up beat as it once was, and together as one we will all get through this. David will forever be in our hearts, and missed but he will certainly NEVER forgotten by any of us.

Valerie & John~My heart is broken for you both as well as your family. The loss of a child is one that no parent should have to endure. I wish there were words that could comfort and relieve the pain and loss that you are all feeling. Know that you are surrounded by people who love, care and embrace you especially at this time. God Bless you All.

Val, John, Sarah,Jason, Matt, and Aaron,
I remember when David was around 3 years old and I was watching him during AWANA. David drew a picture on the chalkboard and said, "Look Aunt Vicki, I drew heaven." I asked him if he was going to be there someday and when he said "yes", he then asked me if I was going to miss him. I laughed so hard because all I could think of was that he thought I was going somewhere else. I guess David knew what he was talking about.

Yes, David, I will miss you!!! I already do...and it hurts!!!

I feel so blessed to have David as my nephew!!!
Love, Vicki
