David, not a day goes by that I don´t miss your smile, your laugh, and your witty sense of humor. I felt so privileged to be able to reconnect with you as you fought your battle. You just exuded love as you fought on. And I will always treasure your presence at our wedding! I know it wasn´t easy for you to attend. But you did that for us. May you rest easy brother. I love you dearly.

Brother you were a beautiful man with a beautiful soul, the world is missing you and so am I. It is hard to imagine life without you. There were so many things I still needed to learn from you and I am lost without you . Rest easy where you belong, in the loving arms of Jesus now. I know I will see you again.
Maid of honor and Best Man!
