Althoug I'm sadden by not being able to see you again, to be able to talk to you about sports and life in general. On this side of the land of the living. I can rest assure that you're in Heaven with Dad, the Angels and God. No more pain, no more suffering and no more worries. You were a good brother and a great uncle. We all will miss you David and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. I know I will see you once again on the other side of Heaven. Your brother Harold
