Doris, Dianne and family, Thinking about you at this time. You have my deepest sympathy.
Thinking of the influence David had over so many people. He is with our father…at peace.
How sad to hear that our Brother in Christ has passed from this life. Our thoughts are with Doris and family as he will be truly missed. But, we rejoice he has gone home to his reward in Heaven. I can only imagine that my father was standing at those Pearly Gates, welcoming David into God’s eternal Kingdom. David was a Man of God. A true Servant to his Heavenly Father, and those who sought the true meaning of life thru Jesus Christ. Enjoy eternal Glory in heaven my friend… Say hi to my Dad.
