David was my first nephew to be born to my sister, Sharon. I remember that day so well. It was on Palm Sunday. I was so excited. At work the next day, I was telling all my co-workers who knew I was expecting a niece or nephew. I totally fell in love with David' beautiful "angel" face. I know he knew I had said that for he mentioned it to me many times. I'm sorry we live so far away and have since 1960 so only saw David and his family a few times when the boys were quite young. I'm sure they don't remember me or my three kids. One of the last times we were in Michigan and saw them, Nicky was about seven years old. David and Susie and the boys did come visit us at Ernie's brother's home the last time I saw David and his family.
I'm so sorry, Kelly and Dylan and Danny, Andy and Matthew and Bob Pietras (I remember you well and your family) and all David's family I haven't met. I send my love and pray the Lord's presence will comfort you and strengthen you through these hard times. Christ is our Savior and is as near as you all allow. He alone can bring you the peace we all seek so desperately, for His love is everlasting.
