'Martha,
May Patricia and I extend our heartfelt condolences in your families loss in the passing of David. In times like these, we should reflect on the full and joyful life you and David had together. I know from our short time we knew David he never really stopped flying in his heart.

I would share with you and your family a quote from Leo Buscagliai,

 I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. 

As Catholics, we look forward to our reunion with Christ and our loved ones. May the love of Christ be with each of you strengthening your hearts and minds in this hour.
Most Rev. Bobby C. and Patricia Hall'

'Martha,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember so vividly the wonderful memories we shared.....you, Dave, Bob and I. I especially remember the years you and I shared when we worked together.....so many laughs and some tears but always you maintained your elegance and unique sense of humor. It was such fun when your Maddie and my Arianna had breakfast together at Jim's. Bob and Dave would talk while you and I reveled in our first grandbabies! I know you, Mike and Laura will miss him so much but the memories will bring you so much comfort. Just remember you will be with him again when we all call Heaven our home.

With much fondness,

Dreama and Bob Seliskar'

'Martha, Michael, Laura and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. May the Lord be with you all in this time of sadness. May he rest in peace. Love and comfort to you all. Dave will be greatly missed.'
