Dear Mr.& Mrs. Plassman, Matt, and Anna,

I saw Bea Cak at Jane Ball on Friday. She mentioned that David had died recently in a motorcycle accident. I am so sorry that I was not there for you!

My heart aches for you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was honored to meet David in August 2013 when he came to Atchison Kansas to adopt a dog from my shelter whom he named Barley. Through this adoption I met a man who felt love and wanted so badly to save Barley who no one else wanted. We kept in contact and talked after this adoption. I'm so very sorry for you loss :(
