Dax, Justin and Families I am so sorry to hear of your Dads' passing. I met him when I worked at Krogers in Hillsboro. He was such a nice and sweet man and I enjoyed talking to him when your parents shopped. I had to get on him about sneaking a taste of the fruit when he when he was in the produce dept. but he'd always do it. I know your Mom & Dad are together again and will watch over your families. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days. God Bless. Connie Emery Miller

Dear Dax and Justin and family,

It is so hard to find words...

God has them together once again in His arms.

They are no longer in pain. Talk to them as they are watching over you, and their precious grandbabies, with all their love.

Keep God in your hearts.

Love,

Roger and Arlene Huffman

My husband talked to your dad at the ballgames; they were both big fans of Fairfield teams. I didn't know David, only by sight, but having lost my husband (Howard Smalley) in Dec. I have found how comforting it can be when friends are thinking of me & my family and remembering us in prayer...I am doing that for you and your family..sincerely.
