Dave, I've known you for 15yrs you were there for me when no one else was. All I had to do was call and you would show up for me every time. I'm still having trouble accepting the fact that you are no longer here. I miss you and I love you dearly. My apologies for being distant, we were just on different paths. I hope you found your way so until we meet again my friend I love you always

RIP big cousin David, your smile will be forever Imbedded in my heart. My most favorite memories were when we were on vacation and I would impatiently wait for you to come home on the weekends so I could hug you, find fireflies, play records , dance, and play. You were the coolest big cousin a little girl could ask for.
