I did not know David but for some reason I was drawn to his photo in the newspaper and touched by the written tribute. It reminded me of my sister, whom I miss dearly ... a gentle soul, definitely the family favorite and devoted to us all -- and an "especially dogs" lover. [The "Fred Factor" is a great idea.]
It sounds like David was blessed to have a family like yours, and you were blessed to have him. He will always be with you.
