I went to Amanda with David and Doug. We were in 4th grade together. He was always quiet in class. From reading the other entries, I can see he grew up to be a great man. I am so sorry, to hear of your loss.

To Larry, Mrs.(Hazel)Pergram, and family,

I learned of your loss only yesterday. I've been out of touch with your family for many years, but David's dad touched me in many ways when I was young and influenced my life as well. I admired him and knew he loved all 3 of his boys. He'd be heart broken today, but I'll guess there's been a good reunion of Gordon and David. My heart is out to all of you. I've said a prayer for your family.

I haven't seen David in several years and I am "shocked" to learn of his passing. I was always "most impressed" by the total devotion, admiration, and respect, that David showed to his mother. God rest your soul David. You will be missed.

I've read everyone's entries and there is nothing I can add. David was a sweetheart. Never knew what he was up to. I'll miss him. My prayers go out to his family.
