Elaine, Mary and I just learned of Dave's passing last week. We extend our love and sympathy to you and your family. We also rejoice knowing Dave is resting in the arms of Jesus free of pain. I learned so much when he worked for me and I appreciated his steadfast faith. Dave had a very positive impact on so many people. He will be missed and praying for you.
