I miss you so much fuzzy. I love you too much and always will. I watched you suffer for 47 days in the hospital with too many ups and downs. My heart wrenched with pain as I watched to whittle away. I’m glad God to you home to your new body that is not broken. Rest in peace my love and don’t worry about me- I’l be ok. Till we meet again………….
Rest in peace, sweet Uncle.
So sorry to learn of David’s passing. My sincere condolences to his wife and all releatives and friends. During our teen years at Austin High School, David was a good and an interesting friend who demonstrated maturity at an early age. We shared numerous interests. Praying for divine comfort, confidence and reassurance for his loving wife, Virginia. Good news . . . someday you’ll be together again.
