We were shocked when we heard the news about David's passing. But we know that God makes no mistakes and His timing is perfect. We are so grateful to God for allowing our paths to not only cross but to intersect at Heritage Baptist Church. David sowed so many seeds of the Gospel and so much of himself into the lives of our boys. We know he would be proud of Kyle (Children's Pastor at Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC & Tyler (who is now our pastor at Forest Baptist Church, Forest, VA). David gave us both so much joy working together with him at H.B.C. that our lives were enriched tremendously. Our family and S.S. Class are in continuing prayer for each of you. Please know that we love you all very much and thank God for you daily. Our deep love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
