Dave and Jeannette have been our neighbors for 33 years. They were the first folks to welcome me and my first husband to the neighborhood. They have watched me raise my two kids, go through 2 divorces, watched a family dog come and go and the go through several landscaping morphs while they stayed constant. Although it is hard not to notice when the norm starts to change, we were aware that Dave wasn't doing so good. I am sorry for his loss, but know that Jeannette will be well taken care of with her sister available. My best to the family.

David always had a smile when he talked with me and my family. I was sad to hear he had passed. Our condolences to Janette and the rest of the Akehursts.
