Precious precious Dave. My heart is so saddened by this news. I know and trust that you are in heaven and whole again! I also know that someday we will be together. But for now I will live with the wonderful memories you left me with. I always thought of myself as an ugly duckling of sorts but Dave made me feel like a beautiful swan, special, loved. Carol, Tim, Alan and Tracy may you feel God's arms embracing you, holding you close, comforting you in this time...those very same arms that embraced Dave and welcomed him home. I love you all.
