Dear Dave, Thank you so much for making me a part of your journey through life. I am the person that I am, and know so many wonderful people because of you. Out of all the things I take from our time on this earth is that you have taught me that life is about quality and not quantity. The more quality we put into our work, life,and relations with people, the more we get out of it, and the better we feel about ourselves.The quality father, friend, and giver that you are is hard to find, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. This life lesson of Quality, will be passed on for generations. As much as it hurts to say "farewell my friend", I know you will always be there. Your guidance and advice is only a prayer away. So untill the day we meet again...rest in peace my friend...With much love Antonio Ramos

Dear Dave, thanks so much for making me a part of your journey through life. The lessons and skills you have taught us in life will be cherished for generations to come. I personally would not be who I am today or know the people I know without you, and for that I am truely thankful. You have taught me that life is about quality and not quantity. The more quality you put into everything in life,the more you will get out of it. I will miss you my friend but I know you will always be there. Until we meet again...peace be with you...Love Antonio Ramos
