To Mom, Danica, Desmond and Ananisia, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I always thought David was brilliant and talented and a genuinely good person. I regret not seeing him more often but I have many fond memories growing up with him. I will always cherish those memories as I know you will too. He will be missed. I love my brother very much.

I’m so sorry to hear of your lost. I want send my sympathy’s to you and your family. I know it’s hard to find comfort at a time like this. I want to share with something I found comforting. It’s the hope the bible holds out to us. It’s found in the bible at revelations at 21:3, 4. I hope it brings me. Please take care.
