23 Jul 2021God miss her so much already. Still can’t understand why bad things happen to good people. We had a lot of good times together. Laughed and laughed so much.
She was a great friend and a wonderful wife to Dave. Which made her a Ace with me and so many others. Its so hard to think of life with out her. But one day we will all see her again. Just want Dave and her kids and family to know I am thinking of them . And they are all in my prayers.
