We want to let all of David's loving family know how sorry we are to hear of David's death. It came way too early for him, and everyone concerned. David was such a sweet person, who truly love, adored, and cared for all his family.
Suzi, you and David had such a special relationship, and you certainly built great memories together. It's hard to imagine your grief over losing him or how you're feeling. Just know that our thoughts and Prayers will follow you and all the family.
Our love.......Grace and Rodney Messinger
