To the Palacz family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Dave and I went to St. Casimir and we were on the teen council at the Boys Club. Dave also took care of both my parents 20 years ago. Rest in peace.

I think your dad would want to say this message to you. He carried the words with him as he bid farewell to others so many times...."So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart."

May it comfort you to know others are thinking of you at this difficult time. My sympathy,

Dave , First we will miss you dearly, you were a great friend and in our hour of need. You were there to offer your services with compassion and care for my family. Dave words can't express our appreciation for all of the good you did for others throughout your life time. I am one of the ones you have helped in my life and in my sorrows. We grew up together in the old neighborhood and remained friends throughout the years. The Ayala Family will remember you and keep you and your family in our prayers. Rest in Peace brother.

My husband and I are so saddened by the death of our dear cousin and friend!!! David was always so pleasant and most compassionate during our deepest sorrow and most importantly, was there to comfort us during one of the most saddest days of life we had to endure!!! Aside from his professional responsibilities, David was a truly amazing person who would offer guidance, comfort and whatever was necessary to help you get through the most difficult times!!!! He and his son Michael helped our family make the most difficult decisions during a time that we needed the most guidance and advice!!!!!! He always spoke of his loving sons and his sister, Doreen, who was always there for him!!!! He appreciated the loving care he received from his family!!!! We were just shocked to learn of his passing but know he is with his loved ones who preceded him in meeting the "Almighty" in heaven!!! God bless him and may he now rest in peace!!!! We will continue and sorely miss him at family gatherings!!!!! He had such great humor and put a huge smile on all who were in his presence!!!!! We all had such a great time last year with family and friends in Homer Glen!!! He seemed to be relaxed and enjoying life's pleasures!!!! God Bless David and his DEAR FAMILY!!!!!!
