Mary, I think of you all so often and everything you have been through as a family. For a good while, I've considered you my family and still do. It breaks my heart to hear of Dave's passing, and I want you to know I'm thinking of you all.
If there's one thing I'll always remember about Dave, it's how he made everyone laugh. And his bright colored shirts!
Stay strong.
Love and miss you.
Nette.
