Doug and family,
It is with great saddness that I am sending this message. I am so heart broken for you all. The tragedy that you are dealing with this past week is just not something one should have to grasp. I am deeply sorry for you all. I don't remember much about Dave, just some when we were young and he was the older,Dad says he was a good kid, you were both good kids. We've grown apart since we were kids, but, when ever I have seen you and Lisa you have always had a smile and funny comment. God will get you all through this, trust in him. Your family is not alone, we are all here for you. God Bless you.
