To my dear friend Mark and his family, |
January 6, 2012 |
I am very sorry for the loss of Mark's younger brother Dave. Mark and I have known each other for 40 yrs, we were stationed together in the Navy. Mark always looked forward to flying home to Decatur and since I was on flight crew made it a priority that he got on a flight. I know my dear friend and his family are very sad and going through a very difficult time.
God bless Dave, you are with God's angels now.
My thoughts and prayers are with Dave's wife, kids, his mom, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and everyone who knew Dave.
Love, George

Dear Phyllis, Mark, Tim and Leigh,
I am so very sorry to read of David's death in the Decatur paper. The little boy next door who, along with brother Timmy, spent many, many hours playing with my daughter Kelly. The boy-next-door whose whole family were close friends of ours. Many hours of friendship and memories come to my mind at this time of sorrow and sympathy for all of your family. I would love to hear from any of you to "catch up" on years that have moved us apart. I am flying out in the morning (Wed) and will be in Florida until Jan. 16. I'm sorry I won't be able to be with you at this time. My love and deepest sympathy, Sue
