My Brother pulled into the driveway today with tears in his eyes. Tears of sadness from learning that his close friend had passed. Myself understood and felt the pureness and admiration David contained in his heart and had for his friends... he will spread that Joy eternally.



Love and Peace,

David B. Francis (next door neighbor 1705 Oak Lane)

My brother truly had a special frienship with David....I am so happy those two had a relationship that close.

Dear Anne,

All of us Osborne cousins are so glad we got to know David these last few years. The first time I met him was when he brought flowers to my sister-in-law when she invited him to a family dinner. I was thinking, "He must have different Osborne genes...my brothers wouldn't remember to do that!" He was really nice.



We are so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,

Holly Osborne
