Roseanne and family,
We are so sorry to hear of David's passing. David was a great training officer and friend during Tim's time with the Highway Patrol in York County. We still talk about the wonderful Sunday dinners and time spent with your family. You all are in our prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Roseanne and family,
I am heartbroken to hear of David's passing. May God give you the strength, courage, and eternal peace knowing he is no longer suffering. I will always remember him with the extraordinary love and quick wit he demonstrated to his family and friends. Sending prayers, love, and hugs as you try to comprehend this tragic loss. Picture attached (although not everyone in attendance) is from the last family reunion at our house.
All our love Aunt Lynn and "Uncle Frankie in heaven"
