I was so sorry to hear about David. We were really good friends in high school. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.
My heart aches for you all. I met Mr Cox 04 and he was such a nice man. I pray God keeps you all in his arms and I know that Heaven got another angel.
You are all in our prayers. Love you all.
Sorry to hear this. June and I love you all and will see you on Thursday.
The Family is in our thoughts and prayers in the loss of your loved one. I worked with David at DuPont in the lab. He was a friend to all that knew him.
Jason and Amber,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We love you and Kelland.
Brenda,
We went to high school together. I don’t know if you remember me or not. Saw this and just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear of your loss. Doesn’t seem possible that we are at this stage in our life. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
