Dave…how much I will miss you! Always asking “who is that actor and what is the name of that movie?” We really enjoyed the old movies together! Thank you for opening your heart and your home to me…I will miss your daily compliments and how much you loved my cooking. You embraced my family and granddaughters as your own. Until we all meet again….I love you, Renee’

Dave always had a smile and a laugh every time I came to his home for PT. He was a bright spot in my day and my life the entire time I treated him. May he rest in peace and continue laughing in heaven. With love and fond memories–Shirl Rojas, PTA
