Words can't describe how you must feel
Jesus said on the cross : This day you will be with me in Paradise

Hold onto those divine words and know David is with Him and is finally at total peace
We will never understand fully or even partially understand WHY

We must have a Belief System that enables us to get through the evil of death and we must trust in the words of Jesus

Yes all easier said than done but it must be done
I pray that during this difficult time the angels that surround you inspire you with wisdom and comfort

Sue and I love you both very much

I am very sad to hear of David's passing. I have many fond memories of him from hanging on LBI to spending time back in Hamilton together. I loved to watch him surf. He was so good at it. Please know that I am thinking of Connie and the rest of David's family and he will always be in my memory.

Tim and I were very sad to hear about Dave's passing. We hope that he is at peace now and is surfing in Heaven. We will always remember every Halloween party and all of the costumes that Dave chose. Looking back on photos we had a lot of laughs. Dave was also very charming. He would always say to me "What kind of beer is that? I've never had that, can I taste it?" To which I would reply, "Sure, yeah right (handing over the bottle)....." Needless to say I didn't get the bottle back. It was a long running joke of ours. His smile will be missed and we are sorry that we didn't get to see him the last few years since he moved. Our sympathy to the family of Dave and know that he won't be forgotten.
