David was my best friend as well as my husband I will miss him greatly but he is always in my heart
I remember David when he was little with his sisters. I have not seen him all these years later, and that is a shame. My very best wishes to all the family.
Love, Aunt Ruth
You were a gentle and wonderful man. We will miss you.
So sorry to hear about your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time, May his memory be eternal.
David was the typical all American little brother; playful, silly, and a target for the attention of the older girls both loving and at times frustrated. I smile when I remember the times he was in my life. My thoughts are with his family at this time.
My thoughts are with you as you grieve the loss of David.
Keep the faith, and be comforted knowing your lives were better through the love you shared with one another.
