Condolences
"It’s with a heavy heart the I send my condolences on the loss of David. I know he is in a better place now, spending time playing golf and enjoying himself. David and i became good friends some years ago at a church event. Since that time, I always looked forward to seeing his big smile a hearty hug from a brother. Marsha, you and your family are in my heart and prayers. Hit it long David! God bless"
