    Congratulations!

    Just reading what everyone else had to say made me proud that you are in our family.

    I am happy to see you will have more time to dedicate to yourself and the ones who love and are loved by you.

    You don’t have to stop helping others, but may need to redirect how you do it. For instance you could just pray for me.

    Thanks again for all you have done for the community and our family

    Congrats David – It was a pleasure to work with you many years ago and also to see you on my last trip home – although it was on another call. Enjoy the retirement, you deserve it.
