Uncle David,
I´ll miss our visits, phone calls and hearing your voice. I´ll always remember you showing up to family reunions wearing a smile, carrying a pizza and a nice pen for everyone that had Heale Reunion inscribed on it. I´ll always remember the time you and Aunt Norma took me out to dinner. We had a great time together. I´ll also remember stories you shared with me of days gone by.
Rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus. I will see you again one day.
My condolences and prayers for Aunt Norma and my cousins and for all who will miss Uncle David.
Love your niece,
Deb
