Dear McConnell Family,
I am so terribly saddened about the death of David. I'm sorry I never got to meet him. From what I have heard he sounds like a wonderful person and he must have been to have such a wonderful family. We have just been getting to meet and know this new side of our family and I wish we could have met David. If he was anything like his father, brother and sister I know we would have gotten along well. Please accept my deepest sympathies at this sad time and know that you all have been and will continue to be in my prayers that the Lord will provide you comfort and support in the days to come.
A Texas cousin,
Judy McConnell

What a joy he was... & how he is already missed! I praise God that, in the midst of your sorrow, His love & compassion will never fail - His grace is sufficient, I promise!
"...for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow." Jer 31:13
(I suspect he & Joey are either fishing or flying by now... I can only imagine!)
Much love from all of us.

Carmen and I are very sorry for your loss. David was a very fine Christian man. We were very blessed to have had some time to visit with David at the hospital. I will always remember the good times we had at the reunions. Well see him again in the air. 1 Cor. 15.51-58
