Marguerite,
Marilyn and I were both saddened by the news of Dave's passing. Hardly a day goes by in our home that we are not reminded of Dave's fine taste and expertise as an interior designer. We also remember fondly the Fridays at the Golden Wok and the welcoming OSU parties. Dave's gregarious and upbeat spirit will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with you.

Marguerite,

As an old golfing "victim" of David, I have to tell you how much we all will miss him. He was a great guy and a competitor in anything that related to sports. He was a man's man and a women's dream. (that's what Donna says)
He was liked by everyone he met and was welcomed in any group. He leaves us with a lot of fond memories and a great sense of fulfillment knowing he has been rewarded for all the kindness he spread here on earth. I just lost a real real good guy but heaven has just gained one. He was truly a great example for all of us on how to live and enjoy our time in this life. You were very fortunate to have spent all those years together and I know he's paving the way for all of us.
Keep the Faith and his memories alive.
We wish you the best.

Dear Marguerite, I have happy memories of Dave and you and your dad and our dad...especially on St. Paddy's Day. Yours was the first wedding I remember attending and I can remember how beautiful you were and how handsome Dave was; he surely adored you! I have often thought of you through the years and will especially be remembering you now in my prayers. I recently lost my George too. I live in Orlando near Mary Ellen and Patty and we all wanted to express our deepest sympathies to you. May Our Lord Bless you and comfort you now as I know He will.

Loved him like a brother.
You are always in our thoughts and prayers, Marguerite, but especially now during these sad and lonely days.

Marguerite,
We only just heard about Dave's "homecoming". The memory I have always held about you and Dave was the time I stayed at your house in Newark and some of the briefer times we had when we were visiting in Cleveland over the years (especially when our mother, Mae, was alive).
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue during this time and the times ahead. Dave would want YOU to take care of YOU now! He is now FREE and safe "under the shelter of God's wings" where we all long to be.
Love,
Pat & Gloria Carlin Family
