David will be sadly missed. He helped me through a divorce (he said after my divorce he was never going to do another one after mine). I don't know that he did either but he went and did other things. He always Made me feel at ease and joked with me to get me through the hard times. He was a wonderful person. And i will never forget him . He worked with Pat Boggs which was
a wonderful woman. They brought alot to the domestic violence program. I was honored to have gotten to know both these special people. I am sure they are up in heaven rejoicing with each other. And someday we will all get to see Them again. May you find comfort in the months to come. God Bless you all.
