    David (Burgs) My heart is very broken but yet it has joy. I know you are in a better place and partying. I know you will continue to watch over all of us. Life was too short for you but I will see you again one day when Jesus calls me home and I know you will be waiting for me with open arms!!! I love you and miss you already! I will miss all the messages you send to me. As you always made sure everyone was doing okay. We will make sure Lori is taking care of and I will be here for her! I love you very much!

    You touched our hearts and put a smile on our face. You always greeted me with such happiness and made me feel like a part of a larger family. I am saddened that you will not be around. But I am happy your health struggles are over and you are new again with Jesus. God bless and hold your family close during this most difficult time. Sending all my love. Tami Sue.

    You’re going to be missed by many David you were part of my group for a very long time and if it wasn’t for the group I would have never met you and Lorrie. You was always ready to help someone and you wore that orange vest proudly. You were such a great man that put smiles on a lot of people’s faces. I remember when you three David were together being onry picking on me which I loved. You are in a better place you’re happy no pain and I know you’re watching over everyone especially your family. Your
    up there with my David now so you 2 go have fun. Rest in peace and I will see you again one day.
