To all the Ravens we send our love. Sally and David were one of the first couples we met in Marion in 1960. We always lived less the a block away, and we shared many memorable trips, like to Hawaii, where David at the top of Diamond Head got through with an apple Sharie hid in her purse, BonAire, Antigua, and Jamaica, where David had to retrieve his sunglasses
lost in Dunn River Falls. David was a man loved by all. Our prayers are to all in the family.
Jim, Sharon, Kathryn, David and Susan Reid

Dear Sally and families: I just learned of your loss of Dave and I feel so sad. There is no way to express my feelings except to say he brought smiles and laughter to so many and shared his compassion as well. I am glad that Tom and I were in your circle of friends and could share many happy times together....lovely memories. I pray you all will find much to remember of your lives with him that brought you joy. May God grant you peace. Emily

Remembering Uncle Dave and all the happy times the Browns and the Ravens spent together at the Ravens' cottage on Lake Webster. Uncle Dave, my mom Lee, and my dad Don are zipping around in that beautiful mahogany inboard Chris Craft! Thanks for the memories. Be at peace.

I was so sorry about your loss. I remember those good times we used to have at the lake trying to teach us to water ski. He will be greatly missed.

When the shadows deepened, as David was going down, deep into the valley, we are certain the brightness of God’s mercy shown about him and that God’s welcoming comforted him as his life closed down. We know the journey was hard on you and your family, Sally, but though life passes on, memories last forever! Carol and I share many of those memories with you. The last was at Mimi’s Restaurant in Fort Myers with some of the old gang from Marion.
Our prayers are soaring your way.
