David was a wonderful person who will be missed by everyone. He and Dolly were very loving to one another, and it was a pleasure knowing Dave. We, on the Chime Choir, had a lot of laughs when Dave and Dolly played chimes with everyone involved. Our son, Ron V. Pope, enjoyed times with them on the Chime Choir, as well. My husband Ronald G. Pope, and myself, Carol Pope, enjoyed spending time with them when we visited and gave communion and read scripture together, when we delivered flowers, as part of the Helping Hearts team. Our prayers are with Dolly, and all the family. Blessings to everyone. Ronald G Pope, and Carol Pope
