David lit up my life also all his family and friends.
He made everyone feel at ease his special gift was to make all people laugh!
Our special time together was short but it seemed like a life time. He brought to me a joy I never knew!
My saying to him was:
Love is like the wind! You can’t see it but you can feel always!
David will always be in our hearts and minds forever.
He was very special and will be missed by all!
We all loved him soooo!
