I can't even imagine the pain and hurt of the loss of David is feeling like, but I am praying for you all and you all are in my thoughts constantly. One of my favorite things about David was that anytime I saw him, he always had a smile on his face and said "Hey baby" or "Hey darling." He always made me smile with his kindness and friendliness. From when I was around him he always gave everyone a smile and a laugh. My heart goes out to y'all and the rest of the family.

Dear Family,
My thoughts go out to each of you and I pray that God will be especially close to you in this time of sorrow.
You don't know me personally, but I firmly believe that you are a part of my Nowlin-Wade family. I came into the DAR and "First Families of TN" through my 5th great grandfather, Edward Wade, b. 1727 in VA, d. 1790 in GA. His oldest child, Lucy, b. 1746, married Bryant Ward Nowlin, Sr. In my genealogy research, I find the Nowlins spread out across different states and MANY went to TX. I don't show a James Walter Nowlin in my Family Tree Program, but after finding David Ray's obit., and doing a little more research, I think James Walter's parents were James M. and Daisy B. Davis Nowlin. If you could furnish James M's dad's name, I believe I could connect your Nowlins to mine. In due time I would love to hear from anyone in the family. Sincerely,

DANA AND MONTY MCADAMS
