Dear Uncle David, I didn´t get to spend much time with you but I remember the times we were together. I will alway treasure those memories. I pray you Rest In Peace and that Jesus will have you by his side. God bless and I will see you again.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Our sympathies go out to the family. Was glad that we got to see him and talk to him back in the Spring. We had such great times and good memories from when the kids were little.
