Betty,
My heart is heavy at the loss of Dave. He was a big part of my younger years. I will always remember fishing with you and Dave. I am truly sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. I am unable to be there for you for the funeral and it just hurts me so much. I am unable to get the day off of work due to my short amount of time at Donaldson’s. I am thinking of you in mind and heart today and everyday. Please forgive me for not be able to attend and know that the memories I hold will be with me forever. I love you Betty & thinking of you today.
Tina Thorne.

Dear Betty:
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for Dave’s funeral. Please know that our entire family shares in your grief. We love you and hope you keep in touch.
May god watch over David and his family, he will be remembered.
Our deepest condolences are with you in your time of grief. May you continue to find comfort in the memories that you all shared together and get comfort from knowing one day Sickness will be no more and Death will be a thing of the past. In times of grief such as these, We find it comforting to meditate on the words found in the Holy Writings at Job 14:14, 15. Job expressed his faith that God would bring him back to life if he should fall asleep in death as he said: All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you.” The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunite with your loved one in the near future, right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Psalms 37:10, 11 offers us this promise. My sincere condolences to your entire family.
Uncle Dave you were an amazing man and awesome uncle. i have lots of good memories with you that i will never forget! You will be greatly missed by all!! I wll always be little “louie”
