Uncle David,
Even though you came into my life only a short two years ago I felt like I had known you for a lifetime. I loved you from the first time we met and you stole a big piece of my heart. I loved listening to your stories and working in your flower bed beside you. I loved the wide eyed looks you gave me when I did something silly. You were such a sweet, loving, caring beautiful man. Thank you for opening up your arms and loving me the way tou did. I miss you so much! I just wish I could have known and loved you longer. I love you my angel!!
