Dave and Bonnie were the first people we met when we joined the Cozy Cove community. They were quite the team. Dave always lead our prayer when we would have our annual association meetings. His prayer was always so natural, just like he was having a personal conversation with God.
He and Bonnie were always so welcoming to everyone, everyone. They were our official Cozy Cove greeters. They made people feel good and so welcome. There will never be another Dave and Bonnie. Dear Lord I will miss them, watch over them please!

We remember that big smile Dave always had and his welcoming manner. Dave and Bonnie were our best friends in Branson. We spent some fun days at lunch and silver dollar city. We loved his knowledge of the Bible he shared at small group. We will miss him dearly. John and Linda Waterman

Where to begin. Dave was the Campus Life Director when I was in high school at Sheboygan County Christian High. I was in the Cedar Grove club and later sang in The Lightshine. After getting married I sang in the couples group called Forever Together. After becoming a mom I spent 9 years directing The Lightshine, having Thom, Todd and Tracy be a part of the group. I´ve been in a ladies Bible Study with Bonnie. Your family grew up alongside me and my family and Dave was someone I looked up to. He helped me when my dad passed away and you all helped when we said goodbye to my mom. Heaven is getting closer for each of us and the reunions will be marvelous. My sincerest sympathy to each of you, Bonnie, Thom, Todd and Tracy. Love and hugs to you all.
