Dawn, Mary, Kiersten, Danny, please accept my condolences on the passing of David. He was in a lot of pain at the end and my only consolation is that he is now in a better place. He loved you all so much and was so proud of your accomplishments and achievements. His early illness and passing are a reminder that health and longevity are not guaranteed to anyone. I will miss how he always asked about Malek's family in the Middle East and my adventures. He was always very thoughtful about that. And his crooked smile from the stroke. May he rest in peace. | from: Robin Al-Khatib | on: 01-03-2025 |
