I am shocked and saddened to learn of David\\\'s untimely death. Although I do not know what circumstances have brought this ending, I do know that I have lost a true friend. In the course of one\\\'s life, it is rare to find someone with whom you can share a heart felt laugh, entrust fully, and experience life\\\'s great adventures. Even though we were just youths, we were inseparable. But time and distance eventually did separate us. Despite that, I will always cherish my memories of the times I spent with David. I pray that he is at peace, and I extend my condolensences to the entire Bonsack family. I am sorry I cannot be there to hug you all in person. Know that I am thinking of you.
