Happy Heavenly Birthday Dave! I still miss you desperately. I would give anything to spend another day with you. I am remembering your 8th birthday when we had our special "date", and you were so darn sweet and lovable. And you retained those qualities all your life. You made so many people feel loved and cared for. I hope you knew how much you are loved. xoxo
