Dear Mildred, Gary, Wendy, Andrew and Chase,

We cannot express deeply enough how sorry we are at the passing of Dave. So many fond memories flood
our memories at the mention of his name. I always looked forward to your visits to Baltimore. He was always encouraging! Always interested in how we were doing. His love touched us deeply. Your marriage is something for all to aspire; a wonderful testitmony of true love. We have all been blessed by having him touch our lives. We are thinking of you and though we are many miles apart, you are always in our hearts.

Love,
Debbie, Marc, Justin, Erin and Jaclyn

Cousin Mildred,

Words could never adequately express our sorrow regarding Dave's passing. Likeable, good humored and never at a loss for words, his stories and wealth of information will always be fond memories for me and our family. I always enjoyed "cutting up" with him whenever we could get together and I know that your sixty years together were filled with love, happiness and laughter. And though you shared your most heart felt pain together with the loss of Cheryl, it was your deep love for each other that allowed you survive beyond that. We love you and share in your deep sorrow. Just know that though we aren't physically there to share your pain, you are in our thoughts and prayers and we support you during this difficult time.

All our love,

David, Diane, Jonathan, Jillian and Lauren.

Dear Mildred and family,

My deepest sympathies to you on your loss. When I think of Dave I think of all your visits to LA and the stories he use to sit and tell the kids to put them to sleep. The two of you were like grandparents to Lindsey, Megan and Josh. We will always have those fond memories to treasure and the time we spent together. When I drive by Fromins I can always think of Dave and the mushroom barely soup! Mildred how about the time we had "pizza on the beach?" Another moment I will never forget. We are truly blessed to have been able to spend those times together. He will always be loved and remembered.
