To my precious friend( sister) Amy,
I always admired the love your dad had for your mother, it was such a special bond... I will never forget the welcome home party we gave you when y’all got back from New York and he surprised her with that beautiful watch... theirs was a love story for the times. But as we all grew older and I noticed your dad showing so much love and respect for all the members of your family, he took a special place in my heart. You all have been so blessed with a good man and example. After I had kids he always took them under his direction with his wisdom and love. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with us. He will be missed in the hearts of many

Dear Pat and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of David’s passing. Although it has been many years since David acted as my chaperone to go to the USO dances and made sure I got home safe. A great cousin for anyone to have and I was lucky.
From knowing of David’s kindness and pleasant personality, all of our cousins always spoke highly of David when I asked about my Conway family. When I would come for a visit and stay with George and Mary, David would stop in to say hello.
I pray that all of the Goodness and Love David gave to all of his family, God will Bless you with Hearts so full of that love that it may give you all comfort at this time.
My Honey, Jerry, had a stroke three years ago and needs constant care, so I regret I won’t be able to come pay respect to David. I will keep you all in my Prayers
In Christ’s Love,
Regina and Jerry Spears

Ms. Pat, There are no words to express how sorry I am. Dave was one of a kind. So sweet. He will be missed. I can still picturing my wild daughter sitting on his lap at Amy’s for what seemed like hours as he worked on their computer. I had never s witnessed her being so still and engaged. Dave has a calmness that flowed right thru her.
My prayers for you and your family.
