We will miss dear David - my most tender hearted cousin - his infectious smile, his happy hopeful curiosity for life and all his adventurous meanderings! Christmas parties and pool games! The "cottage" crab feasts and "sea nettle swims"...and professional exchanges (his dentistry and our accounting help in early years). His kind words and mutual understanding of loss for dear old uncle Pete....my Dad. God Bless...may you find a boat... your dog Sage... all your sainted loved ones... and Uncle Pete to go fishing with in your new home!
Love and understanding to all the B's... Joe, Ed, Zachary, Leah, Jill and especially the best sister he could have had... Anne! Love cousin sharon
