Nancy; We are saddened by the loss of your husband. Dwayne we are saddened by the loss of your Father; and we are saddened by the loss of our Dear Brother-in-law. Dave has been more than a brother-in-law. He has been a true friend, always willing to help with any thing that we desired. He will be missed. We are comforted to know that Dave now lives in God’s presence.

He was a great guy. A good friend and Christian brother. I enjoyed his smile and warm hand shakes so much. Joking with him always gave me great pleasure. Nancy and Duane – my prayers are with you at this time.
