There are no words to describe how much David and you Judy have meant to my family and our church over the years, and for me personally through some of the roughest times if my life. I considered him one of my few true friends and I will miss him. Many prayers for you and the fsmily.
I did not know Pastor David that long, as he had only been at Marvin UMC a few months. He was a caring man who loved his ministry and his families ( church family and blood family). Prayers to all. May you have good memories of times together and find peace in those memories. He was and will be a servant of the Lord.
