Friend! That’s the predominant thought that comes to mind when I think of Dave. He befriended me as did you when my family moved to Kalamazoo & chose Peace Lutheran as our congregation, and then again as my own dear late husband joined our congregation. Always smiling, with a kind word for all he met. You chose a good one too. Now, I know he & Rick are having a grand time sharing stories and praising our Father in heaven. Soon we will be reunited with them and what a reunion that will be! Take heart & comfort Jeannie knowing that as we wait for that day they loved us unconditionally and we will be together again one day. (((Hugs)))❤️
