Dad,
We all have been missing you so much. We never have gone this long without talking. We are taking the kids to Padre...your sweet daughter Tracy has set us up with ocean front living!! It's not the best time to go...but, when is? I miss you so much. And, all my tears are tears for you...tears of love.
I just can't believe that I won't be able to talk to you for the next 60 years. You're my hero, and always will be. I love you with all my heart. p.s. Dave Jones texts me??!!! Funny.

Dad,
I love you and miss you everyday. Thinking of you at Easter. We'll go to Chucks on your birthday. Be talking to you tonight in my dreams. I'm the lucky one! I miss you so very much.

Sandy, Shelly, and Tracy,
I was saddened to learn about David's death. I met your family while David was at IMMC two weeks ago while working as a student nurse (from Mercy College) in ICU with him for two days.
My sympathy and prayers go out to your family and I wish that I had give you all hugs before leaving that Thursday.
With thoughts of David resting in peace. You all remain in my heart,
Angie
Waukee, IA
P.S. I may know Tracy's in-laws, the Drury family, if Jeff has a brother named Kevin who went to Drake University for graduate school. If so, it's a very small world.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I went to D.M.A.C.C. with him several years ago. I remember we went on a field trip to Minneapolis, none of us had much sleep that weekend. We were having tours in the bus of these poinsetta fields and all you could hear was Dave snoring, and we couldn't wake him up. But that night he was ready to go party some more. Remember all the good times and keep those memories near to your heart. Your family is in my prayers.
