Judy,
We are so sorry for your loss. We are sorry we aren't able to attend the services for him, but are so glad you are able to celebrate his life with friends and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
I had the pleasure of working with Dave at Milan park school. He was a nice guy and he cooked a nice burger on the grill for our lunch one evening we worked together. Rip Dave.
Judy, Words cannot say what our hearts feel at this sad time. So grateful for the time we all had with Dave. He was a wonderful man and there are many who share in your loss at this time. We ask God to hold you close and give you strength in the coming days. "I have heard thy prayer and seen thy tears..." Isaiah 38:5.
