Our sincere condolences go out to Betty, and to Betty and David’s families. May David forever rest in peace 🌸
Amen
erest grant unto him o Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
We have been friends with David and Betty for about 25 years. David was one of a kind. He was always jovial, humorous, knowledgable and interesting. His word was his bond. He treated everyone fairly. He loved Betty dearly. There was never a time that we would get together with them that he didn’t make us laugh about something. We will miss him dearly. We are praying for Betty and family.
