My eldest brother died on June 26th. What a sad day! We had his funeral July 6, and that was a hard day! David was a closed person, so we didn't know him as well as we'd have liked to. We'd been out of contact with him for the last few years. He was somewhat a mystery to us when this whole thing started! However, after a week at my Dad's house looking at pictures and listening to stories and remembering memories, I feel I know him much better, and I'm grateful! My brother was a strong-willed, compassionate, dedicated person. He was a passionate learner and doer. He was a great example of character! He was (is) loved by so many! He is missed dearly, and we will be anxious to see him again!
Through this experience, my family has really been brought much closer together! We've learned a lot about love and forgiveness. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father's tender mercies! I am grateful for eternal families! Although I am terribly sad that he is gone, I am so glad that he is in a place of love and happiness!
We love you, David!
