Karl, I was so sorry to hear about David. I know it may be devastating but at least now David is at peace. I may not be there for you but the good times and fun we have shared with David are not forgotten. My prayers and thoughts are with you and David's family.

My Dearest Karl, I don't know what to say right now other then had it not been for our brother/sister relationship for so many years I may have never met David. Over the years David and I have laughed with each other, cried with each other, debated with each other and through it all developed a deep devotion of love for each other. He had become just like a brother also. How much more could you ask for. I will never stop talking about David for he is with us forever. Karl, you and David were my very best friends and that will never change. I love you both, Denise

Dear Dan and family: We were so sorry to hear about David. Had not seen him in many years. Will

Dear Mr. Elvington, Glen & Adri,



I just learned this morning about David. I was shocked to say the least, and very sad to hear the news.



Although I had'nt seen David in quite some time, I always thought a lot of him. He was always so sweet and thoughtful.



One of the things I remember most about him was his love and kindness towards animals when we we all kids! He was always nursing some little critter along to help to give it a fair start in life!



You are all in my thoughts and prayers.



Love, Rosemary
