  1. I remember David when he was just a teenager. He was a great kid. He was full of life and energy. Very goodlooking sweet kid. He was funny and had a love in his heart that cannot bee seen in alot of teenagers.
    Over the years I have thought about David and his brither Thomas. I have wondered what they had become and if they were happy. It was very sad news today as I came accross a post that said David had passed on. I guess I was too late in looking him up to see what had become of him. rest in Peace David.

  2. My thought and prayers go out to the all the family during this difficult time.

    God Bless

    The Neal Family
