We are all very sorry to hear of David's death. I, Shandi, live just up the street on Weavers Road, and saw all the commotion Friday night.

I didn't know this man, but this article in the paper hit me really hard when I saw it today. It will be 3 years the 16th of this month, that I lost my dearest friend in a vehicle accident. She was 14 years old then. There's nothing I can say to take any of this pain away that you're going through. But I can truly and honestly say that ive felt that. You are not alone.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of David's death today in the paper. I was a teachers assistant in his class at Montevideo about 8 years ago. David always was joking and had the cutest little crooked smile. I often wonder about the boys in that class since I left the school and wish the best for them. It hurts to see David's life cut so short. My heart goes out to his family and friends at this time. I hope it gives you peace to know that David was a pleasure for people lke me to have had the opportunity to know. Lanette Haney Thompson 2008-07-15 06:07:37

I cannot express my sympathy for Davids' family for it is unexplainable. I am so shock and very sad to hear of Davids passing away. He and I used to be good friends and I was very happy to hear that he had his own company. He was a great guy and many many people loved him. I cannot say anything to make the pain go away but when I think of David from now and on out, I will smile knowing that he feels no pain now and that he lived a wonderful and successful life. My heart goes out to you all. Natasha Breeden 2008-07-15 17:02:12

To all the family my prayers are with you, as you go through this valley of saddness but just know that only peace comes from our God and He will be there for you. I can not forget seeing David at the Reunion on Sunday. His smile was so sweet and I will always remember him that way. I will never forget how he painted a porch for his Great Grandmother (PawPaw Foley- as they called her) when he was about 10 or 11 and she was so proud of the job he did for her. She said he worked so hard for such a little boy. Now to all, it's a time to remember the Good times with David. Trust in God to heal all the breaking hearts of our family and friends. My Love Forever to All. Jane Foley 2008-07-16 07:12:12

Marjorie I am praying for you and all the family. Mom called me at Myrtle Beach and told me I was speechless. I am so sorry and I know you have a void in your heart. Only God can full that void. If you need anything please call me. I also feel bad for David's little ones. Of course you know I was 4 when my dad died in his car accident. I look forward to seeing you again and giving you a big hug. Sent with Love and Prayers! I hope you find comfort in knowing our church family is praying for the family. I am praying that God will wrap his loving arms around you. Chris and Vickie Earman 2008-07-17 14:10:18
