I've just learned of David's passing and my heart sorrows.
I had the privilege to direct Pastor Espinoza's TV program for the first few years.
David was funny, wise, Godly, and reassuring to be around. He was truly, 'One of a kind'. I feel only lacking when I compare my dedication to God and that commitment David manifested. He always seemed to emphasize God, his family and his friends at all times.

I met many of you family members during the videotaping of his shows at Trinity, and I pray for your comfort, and hope you can feel David's presence, and his reassurance that he awaits your arrival with open arms.
David was a man who touched many, in eternal ways with his Godly, friendly, and manly presence.
We shall all carry his imprint in our heart and on our lives. Walk in pride, knowing you were and are, still, part of him.

A message to my Aunt Lupe, Cousins Lynne and Robert, Davey, Mona, Tabitha and Brittany,

It was wonderful celebrating my Dear Uncle David's life with you Friday Night.

The Service Davey, was beautiful and your Dad would have been most proud as I'm sure he always was!

The girls sang and read beautifully eventhough it was hard for you all, the Lord's Grace and Peace were clearly there with you and all of us during this sorrowful time.

Aunt Lupe, I love you very much and know that you will miss Uncle David most of all but cherish the wonderful memories and the gift the Lord has given us as Christians of seeing Uncle David again, with Jesus upon the day of his return.

God Bless you All and know that you will continue to be in my prayers every day until that blessed day!

Love, Aileen "Linky" Mendoza-Ibarzabal & Family
