I am so sorry for your loss Joyce. What wonderful memories were on display this evening, but best by far were the artwork and poetry by Maddie in memory of her grandfather. I pray the love you are surrounded by, your family's and God's, brings you peace in the hard times. ♡

Joyce & children, because Dave loved the Lord he has inherited what your read in God's promise book, the Bible, in 2nd Corinthians 5:8; "Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord." We pray for GOD'S amazing grace for you all. Sorry we were unable to see you in person.
