Smiles. Smerks. Giggles. Deep talks. Glares. Warmth. Solitude. Tenderness. Charm. Playfulness. A love that could light up the world. Adventurous. Loyal. Committed. You will always be with me.

As I go through my day, I think of David and feel his loving presence live on in my conscience and my heart. I feel grateful to have known him. I'm so glad my sister Nicole and David fell in love with each other and built a wonderful life together. He was deeply generous, always ready to take the lead or lend a hand. He never shied away from doing what was needed. His kindness, humor, intelligence, his love and his life lives on in his beautiful children. I am keeping you in my prayers beautiful family. I hope it brings some small comfort to know that I share your sadness.
