‘Guys, all I can think about is the time 16 and 1/2(Sarah) of us rode out to Mooresville to stay with you and Aunt Nancy. The crowd in the station wagon never seemed to bother Uncle David. We had some great times. My heart goes out to all of you. May you always hold on to those great memories!’ Michele Beeler White
I will always remember David’s kindness and laughter when he would answer the phone, and when I would visit your home with embroidery work to be done. It was obvious that he was a hard working man who loved woodworking, and loved his family even more. Please know that my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful family . . .
David, I remember you as a young whipper snapper on your daddy’s farm. I thought you were so handsome, you and Jake. I loved you all, Aunt Alma, Wate and all the Beeler youngins. Still to this day, I love to visit your sis, Alice Faye and Eab and all of you all. God Bless your family and God and you will watch over them. Glory to God, in Jesus name, Amen!
