"David was truly the \"best brother\" a sister could hope for. We spent most of our lives together with our \"beloved Dad and Mom\" trying to figure out how to make the most of our lives in this world. He would give you his last dollar if you needed it. The void without him here to talk to or help with any task you needed him to do will never go away. The only way I can deal with this loss is that I know he is HOME with Dad and Mom. BLESS YOU IN HEAVEN DAVID AND I ONLY WISH I TOLD YOU MORE EVERY DAY HOW MUCH YOU MEANT TO ME AND HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU :)"
