"I will miss you Dave we had some fun times, driving gravel roads spotting dogs that weren't there.. lots of great memories and long talks. You had a zest for fun and adventure even though all your ideas weren't great you made all them sound fun. Thanks for all the times and all the people you introduced me too. I will remember you with a smile on my face and not a bad word about you will ever be said cause I think you are fabulous in my eyes. RIP my friend.. Until we meet again.. Friends Forever Deanna...."
