Helen, Suzanne, Mary, Steve & Don, I am sorry I didn't make it to the funeral home to see you all. I was so sorry to hear about Dave. You know you all were the best neighbors and I have lots of fond memories of us growing up on Hillside! I know how much you will miss Dave. I will be thinking of you.

Helen and Suzanne,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I am sorry to have read about Dave. I will always have that memory of him calling me "Screw Driver" and most of all its more special when he called it to me just a few months ago. I know how it is to lose someone you love so dearly, as you know I just recently lost momma, but by God's grace and His loving touch, He will see you through it all and guide you peacefully through out your life.
Love always,
Norma (Norman) Keys (Cleveland, TN)

GOD BLESS YOU
