"Natalie, You know you have been like a daughter to Doug and me and when you hurt.....we hurt. We are thinking of you and praying that somehow you find the strength to make it through all this. You know, we had to send Cooper away yesterday and we are hoping Dave will take him for walks and play with him and keep him company for us. Cooper has never been alone in 10 years and knowing Dave is there to watch over him gives us comfort. You are in our hearts forever Natalie. Love you. ;-)"
In loving memory of
David C. Munday
