Uncle david was always nice to me when I saw him
Its hard to think that u were at our wedding on the third now you are gone! Just like your sister Nancy! R.I.P
Hello David. How does one even begin to write a lifetime of memories in such a short space? It's impossible, so I won't even attempt it. I was always so proud of you, but never told you just how much. As your sister I looked up to you as my hero, yet you never knew that either. I'd like to think that maybe you know those things now. Whenever I go to a Oakridge Football game I'll always look up and behind me expecting to see you there and I'll always wish I had one more chance just to talk to you. I'll miss you forever!
I'll never forget our last memories, Papa. We went to the horse show in Sparta, just you and me. I didn't know why I got the urge to take this photo, but I did. Now I know why. I love and miss you. Every time I get in the saddle it'll be in your honor.
He will be missed by so many people. I know I will miss him a bunch at 4h, he was always there for the girls and me. And always made sure he was there to help with the horses.
I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. You have friends that care about you and your family. Please reach out if you need anything.
With Deepest Sympathies
