I worked with Dave at the NM State Hospital. I will remember him for his laughter.

Please accept my sincere condolence on the loss of your dear loved one. May past fond memories and the echo of his laughter bring you warmth. Take comfort in knowing that the most High God (Psalm 83:18) will soon end death and sorrow. Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
