Dear Stone Family,
The news of David's death was so sad to me. I was not a close friend, only a patient. However, he had such a wonderful personality and demeanor. He had a way of making you feel comfortable and like you weren't just a patient but a friend. I can not imagine your grief. I have prayed for Heavenly Father to comfort you in your time of need.
Sincerely, Carole J. Forsythe
