David’s funeral was such a respectful, honorable way to say goodbye to a brother, uncle, friend. He could not have asked for more. It was obvious that he was loved! Could anybody ask for more in this world than to love and be loved?

Sleep in peace classmate
I will miss Mr David immensely. He was the sweetest person. I know that he is better now. No more sickness. Till we meet again.
So sorry for your loss Mr. Doug. He will be better now, no more pain. God bless you and your family Mr.Doug. I was also a Class of 75 member, but I’m sorry I don’t remember your brother. But if he was like you he was a very good man. If I can help you with anything just let me know.
I am truly sorry for your heartbreak. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
