In Loving Memory of David

David was one in a million - but that was just him, unique in every way. He had a great big heart and would help anyone, any way he could. His sense of humour was something else; he made me laugh so often, even if some of the things he said were... well, debatable. That was David. One of a kind.

I will miss you, David. But I take comfort knowing you´ll be up there with your best mate, Colin. Say hello to him for us, and let him know we miss him - just as we will always miss you.

I would like to thank the staff at Pukekohe hospital for the kind caring manner that you gave David and his family during his illness. You are amazing caring people.
