Patti and family, my deepest condolences to you. I just loved David. I've known him since 1994 when we worked at the old Radford Hospital. He had such a great sense of humor, and I cannot remember not one time I was around him that we didn't get tickled over something and laugh. I will forever hold fond memories of him. He was such a fighter and endured dealing with cancer for many years. Many times stopping by my office at RU he'd sit down for a chat and tell me of his struggles dealing with the cancer treatments, yet, he fought and continued to work. He was a hard worker always. I'll miss him dearly, but I feel comfort in knowing he isn't suffering any longer and is with Jesus, no doubt making him laugh with his contagious laugh. Praying for you Patti and Kayla and family for comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Much Love. Pam Moore
