David & Karen,

My heart grieves for you. Mike's passing was communicated to me by David on the six-month anniversary of your loss.
Having five children of my own now, I can only imagine the pain of losing your dear Michael. I remember the baby you played with all those years ago when we were working together on that multi-level business while David was still in the Air Force at Davis-Monthan. I'm glad that we became friends later.
There are no words, David, but I am here in Tucson and open if you want to talk.

Karen, David, and the entire family,

Our hearts are with you at this sad time. I pray for all of you to have a time of healing and greater understanding.

Dave & Karen,

Our deepest sympathies. We are at a loss for words, except remembering your family as our neighbors from Avenida Sombra. It always seems, at the death of a loved one, any emptiness overtakes our senses of reality. But in that reality, comes the comfort that he is home with our true father.

Love to all,

Jim & Chris Gomez

To the parents of Michael Hood,

My heart is so burdened with the grief you are experiencing right now. There certainly is no greater loss than that of your child.

David, we know you from church. My youngest son died at the age of 22, also, so I know full well the terrible anguish filling your heart. I want to tell you that the feeling will pass, but I can't. However, it will eventually subdue enough that you can live with it. You will remain in my prayers for a very long time.

Sincerely,
Janice & Frank Molina
