Wanda I'm so sorry about David. I know this is hard for you. You've been together a long time and you've had a good life with him. Just remember life goes on. He wouldn't want you to give up. Sorry I won't be at the service I'm trying to stay home and healthy because of Covid-19. I'll be thinking about you. Your friend Linda.
