Mary,
Only now hearing of your husband's passing. Haven't seen you guys since the reunion before last. I'm a mere phone call away (and I mean it.) I would love to hear from you to talk to you about anything/everything. It practically goes without saying but my prayers and love are with you and your son. (770) 894 - 1128

Mary and Quinton, I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I remember the last time I spoke with him, he was working in Homer, GA. We spoke for a little while trying to catch up. He was such a great guy and a wonderful pharmacist...Sending my love and prayers to all of you at this difficult time...

David's passing dropped a cloud over the pharmacy community in Rabun County. David's humor, insights, and advice will be missed by all of us. Most pharmacists usually know one another only through telephone calls, but I was fortunate enough to have met David several times, including one notable UGA football game. He'll be missed.

We were so sorry to hear of Dr. Decker's passing! The CVS of Clayton, GA won't be the same without the compassionate care he gave. He was a caring pharmacist and will be definitely missed. Our condolences to his dear family. May God bless you and comfort you.

Life is just a vapor. God shares special people with us for a short time. Our time with David seemed far too short. He was a very special person. Words can never express the feelings in my heart but they are all I have to try and convey my sympathy for the great loss you have suffered. May God wrap you in His arms and relace your pain with joy.
