Dear David,
Fourteen years have passed, yet it feels like only yesterday that you were here with us, filling our lives with your warmth, laughter, and love. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the wonderful memories we shared.
Though the pain of losing you remains, I find comfort in knowing that you are at peace. Your legacy of love and kindness continues to inspire us every day. I wish we had more time together, but I am grateful for every moment we shared.
As we mark this anniversary, I want to honor your memory by living life with the same passion, joy, and compassion that you did. You will always be a part of me, and I will carry your memory forward with love and gratitude.
Rest in peace, dear cousin. Until we meet again.
With all my love,
Dawn

I remember some of the good times we all had at Dependable. The summer outings and Christmas parties were the best. So sorry on your loss, Gail. You were always together. I pray for you to go on, and be strong. Call me sometime! My Best! Love, Mary Mactaggart

I was a customer of David's. Every Saturday for the last several years I would bring in my cleaning at 5:30 in the morning. He would always let me in even though he was not open. He was always as pleasant as could be and never turned me away.
He was a pleasure to deal with always. It was part of my Saturday morning routine to go there, drop my cleaning off and chat with him for a few minutes. I only knew him through his work, but I know this: he was a genuinely nice man and I will miss him and our Saturdays very much. My deepest condolences.
