Where does time go and how quickly it passes. Uncle David, you will always be remembered by me
and the many times spent on the farm with Donna and Gary. Fun times!
You were never one to share your most innermost thoughts unless needed. That time was shared with Richard and I when we dealt with the death of Brian our son. You shared because you had walked the path we found ourself on, with the death of your son. Thank you for your words of encouragement to hold fast to our trust in the Lord. You are loved and missed by so many
