Offering sincere condolences to the family and friends. May you allow yourselves to be comforted by the wonderful promises our Heavenly Father guarantees will soon come about. (Acts 24:15; Ps. 37:29)
Uncle Dave see you on the other side. Your always in my prayers, so are you Jason, Andy, and Emalee.
Dave, you were my soul mate, and the love of my life. We had such a wonderful life together. You loved everyone and always made everyone feel good. You always made everyone laugh! We played golf together everyday and we could not have asked for a better life together. You always took care of me and our children. You were the most special person I have ever know. You will be missed by all who knew you. Most amazing husband, daddy, brother , uncle and grandfather. Till we meet again my love, love Joey
Being new to the neighborhood Dave was my “turn to” guy. He always had good advice. He had a great sense of humor too. Once I said, Dave, my insurance company thinks I live in a flood zone. He looked at me, laughed real big and said Ellis we live on the top of a hill! I will miss you Dave.
Dave, I will miss your constant smile & your awesome abilities. Who’s gonna bring me homemade chili or fabulous brownies, or fix my TV/computer, or entertain us with your music playing. You were a great friend & the best of a neighbor. You went so suddenly and left such a big empty space, it’s really hard to know you’re gone. Rest peacefully and, as usual, wait for Joey – she’ll get there eventually 🙂
