Linda and Jon,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of David's passing. I remember him as a young boy enjoying his magic; and devoted parents encouraging him in all he did. I am so very sorry for your loss. Hoping your grief will be softened by happy memories.

Linda & Jon,
I am so sorry for the sadness that you and your family are going thru. My thoughts are with you.
We lost our Joe in September and all I can say is that it is the sadness thing I have ever gone thru.
