Dear Lynn, Dawna, Susanna: I'm writing at Mom's request to let you know we are praying for your strength and comfort during this most terrible time. We love you and speak of you and your family who were with us at Fellowship for those precious years and of the times we've shared since. He is such a gifted man of God, and no thing on this earth could shake David's foundation, Christ our Rock and our Redeemer. David's faith is sure and I Thank God for his victorious life: he never wavered on the central place of God's Word in his or y'all's lives, in the lives of his congregations.

I had the pleasure of having David in my choir at Fayette Presbyterian Church. I will always miss that and your friendship and help. I wish for your Lynn, Dawna & Bruce and Suszanna God's peace. Ben Free on 8/23/2008 at 9:24 PM

Oh, how sorry we were to hear the news of David's homegoing. We did not hear until Sunday, otherwise, we would have been there to give you all hugs. David will always have a very special place in our hearts and in the hearts of our sons, Richa and Patrick, who were Baptised by David. We love you and will pray for you daily. I look forward to the day we will see him again at heaven's gate. I'm sure he is there now giving all the newcomers a hug. Hugh and Kathy McAleer on 8/24/2008 at 10:41 AM

We are so sorry to hear.. We'll be praying for and thinking of all of you. Somehow I didn't hear until Sunday either, or we would have been there, too. I feel honored to have met him-he was such a positive, funny, caring, kind man. Much love to you.. Kevin and Starla Gilll on 8/24/2008 at 12:09 PM

I was so saddened to receive the news of David's passing; His family is surely in my prayers.
