To the Family and the gentleman who was with Mr.David , my deepest condolences. For your comfort, I prayed and held his hand and talked until the EMT’s got there. Mr.Kevin…i am sorry you had to go through such a traumatic experience.
My prayers for US all
Thank you so much for praying and being there
David was such a kind man, who I got to know through boarding my horse at the same stable where he kept his. I always enjoyed our conversations, and admired how he was so caring and attentive to all our horses’ needs. I feel fortunate that our paths crossed in this lifetime so that we could become friends through our mutual love of horses. He was always willing to help anyone out and always kept a friendly smile on his face. I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that he touched a lot of lives, both animal and human, while he was here. He will certainly be missed.
To David’s family and friends, I will surely miss David when Kevin comes to shoe our horses..I so enjoyed his stories and the okra he would bring us in the summer. A good man.
God speed David
My condolences to Davids family and close friends. David will be missed. He was a kind hearted man who I enjoyed visiting with at every farrier visit. He was always willing to help with anything. I will miss his kind nature and his stories. His journey here may have ended, but know that his love and compassion carries on.
Thank you so much for your kind words
