My husband and I are deeply saddened by your loss. David helped us each Christmas while we set up a nativity display downtown. He was kind, eager to help and genuinely interested in what we were doing. We even gave him a couple of "palm trees" for a display he was going to do. We will think of him fondly this year as we set up the display again. We will pray for your family.

Well uncle, it has been a week now since we laid you to rest and I still can't believe that you are gone. It seems so unfair! I want you to know that I am so proud of you - our dreams were one in the same. Derrick and I talked about you joining us to form Hall Hall & Hall. That would have been something really special. I won't let that dream go and I promise you that it will become a reality. Rest in peace now uncle because you are in a much better place than we are here. And although we all miss you dearly, we will rejoice knowing that you are in the house of the Lord!
One Love,
Always!

Hall Family & Friends:
My heart goes out to you in your time of loss. I had the pleasure of working with David. He was always the sunshine in the office on those cloudy days. I can't remember him ever being in a bad mood not even alittle grumpy. He was always bubbly and full of smiles, which I'm truly going to miss seeing every morning and every evening before I go home. David will be missed here on earth, but I take comfort knowing he has gone to be with the LORD, where there is no Pain, no Hate, and no Greed.
Precious in the sight of the LORD, is the death of his Saints.
