Dear Jan and Missy,
Dave always had a smile on his face. He was soft spoken and kind. One of the things we appreciated about Dave was his love for Cody, with whom he shared many fun times. May you find comfort in knowing our Father welcomed Dave home with open arms. During any time of sorrow, or when the tears flow and loneliness overwhelms, may you feel the Lord holding you and showering His love on you. We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Calvin and Sharon
