Joyce & Bill, I’m so sorry about your son. You’re in my thoughts.
I am so heart fully sorry for the passing of Dave. My two sons William and Jim, were always bringing up his name, when they were younger. My son Jim rode dirt bikes with Dave. There is nothing more heart breaking then losing a child many prayers are being said for you and Dave’s Dad. May the Lords arms hold you close and bring you comfort.
Renewed acquaintance with Dave last fall when he and his crew very capably sided and “windowed” my home. They then built a deck on the front of the house. What a difference! Neighbors and people walking by couldn’t help but express their “delight” at the transformation!! Dave’s dad was a very capable asset to this crew. When Dave introduced me to his dad as his “best friend” – it said it all. Such a loss to his mom and dad and all who knew Dave – RIP my friend – God Speed ….. ???
Joyce and Bill – Seth and I are SO Very Sad, He was a very thoughtful and caring person . We have so many memories of Dave(Davey)….If there is anything you need don’t hesitate to ask. Our Thoughts and Prayers are with You thru this difficult time.
Joyce I couldn’t believe what I read this morning. My prayers go out to you and your husband.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you (Joyce) for this inconceivable loss. Deepest sympathies.
John,
Thankyou for your kind words. We are still in shock ourselves. Never did we imagine losing our son. OMG, we loved him so much. Bill and I are at a loss as to how to go on with life without him. One day at a time I guess.
We are so sorry to hear about David. Our prayers are with you all.
Joyce and Bill,
I am so sorry to hear of David’s passing. Oh my God!!!! I am so sorry for this profound loss. I hope all is well in these trying times.
