I will surely miss you my friend but I have no doubt you are in a place we all desire to be soon. I never forget your kindness and compassion towards me when we were growing up. You have left a big void in many peoples hearts without your daily presence here on earth but the memories will live on.

I will always cherish my memories of the friendship i had with David and all of the family. Even though people grow apart as a result of different roads or responsibilities, the love and care they have as friends often stays inside. I know we will all be together again one day so until then this is not good bye but see you later my friend.
