Dear Beverly, I don´t think you know me, but I went to high school with Dave. We went our separate ways, but a few years ago he found me on Words With Friends. It was so good to connect with him and have "chats" with him. He was a good man and I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. I´m sending caring thoughts and prayers to you and your family. May the memories you have of your 58 1/2 years together help you through this devastating time.
