When god saw you getting tired he put his arms around you and whispered come to me. He didn't like what you went through and offered you rest. His garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. We wouldn't wish you back to suffer that again so we say goodbye with tears in our eyes as you take rest in Gods beautiful garden. Our thoughts and prayers with the Dutton family. We loved David very much and he will be terribly missed.
