David and his angelic music will be greatly missed by those of us at Destiny Church. Hed always had a positive Christian response as to his well being. He and his lovely wife Linda always a joy to be around. My Prayers go out to Linda who showed her strength and true faith in our Lord, as sh remained by his side during his long courageous fight with the unrelenting disease of cancer. I'm sure he was wearing the protective Armor of God to prepare him for his journey. My Thoughts and Prayers are with you Linda, and the rest of your family. God Bless and Keep you!!!
