Melissa and family, I have been so terribly burdened for you all, and have prayed you through this time, but especially today. We have been in such a situation and our hearts ache so for you. Please know how we will be remembering and praying for you in the many days ahead. Dave was a very handsome man, and 20 years is not long enough to be with the one you love. We are so very sorry.
