I will always remember David’s smiling face. Our sincere condolences to his family. He will be missed by many.
Tim and family – our thoughts and prayers are with you today as you mourn the loss of David. As Bible believing Christians however we rejoice in the knowledge that David recently came to know Jesus Christ as His personal Lord and Savior, something we had been praying about for a long time. I believe if David could send one message back to his family right now he would be pleading for family and friends to understand their need for salvation. Reunion in heaven will be sweet!
