David-I will miss you so much. Although you and I went our own ways, you always have a place in my heart. We have a beautiful daughter, Jessica, who loves you so very much. I can't tell you how much she hurts for losing you. But she has a strong faithful sole and she believes that are in a beautiful place. She told me that you needed to go make her Nanny a hot cup of tea. She has mentioned that you have found her Great Papa Dewy and he will show you the rest of the journey. I love you David for all the good times as well as the bad. If it weren't for you we wouldn't have this beautiful Daughter. There were many fun time together. Love April Marie
