Uncle Dave,
I will truly miss your humor, your love for life and your living in the moment. You will forever have a special place in our hearts.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories. You will definitely be missed. By the way, I am certain that they will have mashed potatoes with M&Ms in Heaven 'for sally.'
We love you,
Meg, Pete, Haden, and Sara
P.S. If you see my Grandma St. Bernard up there, please tell her you were both right about my hair. :-)

My heartfelt sympathies to the Bruening family. I know your dad/granddad/husband/brother would want you to replace the sorrow with laughter as a more fitting tribute to him. Take care of each other.
