We just learned of the death of our new neighbor and so sad to hear it. Dave always had a twinkle in his eyes whenever you spoke to him and watching him these past few months work on his and Becky's new home, we can tell he is a hard worker. We are sorry that we won't have the chance to get better acquainted with Dave but will help Becky and Joni as much as they will allow us. They both are good neighbors and our prayers continue for them and family members for the days ahead.
