Even after all of the services and mourning, I still can't believe that you're gone. I miss you but I know that dad is right in telling me that I shouldn't be sad about the loss, but happy about how fortunate we were to spend the day celebrating Erin's return and my birthday. I love you, Uncle Dave.

David - so funny, so loving, so handsome! He was my oldest cousin and was the epitome of cool while I was growing up in the 70's. Through the years one could always count on his bright smile, twinkling eyes and kind words. We miss you David!
