They built a beautiful life of love together where they enjoyed cooking, fishing, listening to music and watching their favorite tv shows together.

David may have left this world, but his love and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
