Paulette Harralson:
I’m so sorry to read of your brothers passing. My condolences to you and your entire family. I hope that your many memories will comfort you during this difficult time.
Praying for all of you.
I loved Dave with my heart and soul, through the best of times, and the worst of times. He’s the only person that could make me feel the depths of anger and the depths of love, along with several other feelings, all at the exact same moment. His style of both personality and love for others, was definitely his own. He was a very unique and very good man. In his later years, grumpy on the outside with a warped sense of humor, but still soft, warm and giving on the inside. He has my heart forever.
Thank you Kathy, and yes, I remember you well. Dave enjoyed working with everyone at Flair very much and missed the people there very much having leaving. I hope you are doing well.
I know that what you are going through right now is very difficult, just know that I am here for you. I am truly sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the peace that you seek.
Thank you Kathy, and yes, I remember you well. Dave enjoyed working with everyone at Flair very much and missed the people there very much having leaving. I hope you are doing well.
I am so sorry to see this. The last time I saw him was the reunion we had for my brothers birthday, seems like a short time ago. My prayers are with the family
