Rocky, Chandra and Andrew, to you all my prayers for acceptance at this time. Shock, sadness I felt when I heard about his passing. We go back a few years even attending a party at your home when he was younger, Kelly being with Andrew I've felt intertwined with you all although distant. David came to our home many times when Jerry was too ill to go out before he passed away. He was always kind, friendly and respectful although he identified who he was when I did not recognize him. Prayers for you all. God bless. Carmen and Douglas O'Mara

We spent so much time with David, watching he and Andrew after school and during the summer when Chandra was working. There were endless games of Monopoly, Checkers, Tripoly, Cards, just to name a few and of course, David beat me at all of them. I always wanted him to eat more because he was so thin. I would make his sandwiches in secret, so we called them his "SPECIALITY" sandwiches. I'd throw everything but the kitchen sink on them, but he loved them and ate every bit. I'll never forget the hours I had to stand at my front door while David tried to get the hang of skateboarding...he'd go about a foot and fall off. Each time he fell, he'd say, "Wait Ma-Maw, I'm gonna do it this time" (I think he finally got it about four years later). David was our first grandchild and we couldn't wait to spoil him . We bought a VHS video camera and took hours of videos of him holding a hose, running in the yard, etc. He was our little star. As he got older, naturally we saw less of him, but we still played games, at every family event. David was sweet and funny and we loved him dearly. To say we'll miss him, is such an understatement. We'll cherish all our memories and hold them in our hearts.
May God bless our daughter, Chandra, her husband, Rocky and his brother, Andrew and may He bring them peace and comfort to help them deal with such a devastating loss.
