Yesterday
We are so sorry to know that Dave passed, and that we were out of town at time of his memorial. We live at FV and ate several times together before Linda moved to the Inn. We did pass in the halls and always took time to engage with her. Dave's death has taken us by surprise. However we find peace knowing he is with his Lord and Saviour.
