Mona - no words can express my feelings from the heart, but I hope that you can somehow know how special you and David are to me. David was so lucky to have someone as loving and caring as you. You stood by him with courage and valor during a very painful time for you. You were strong for him and his mother and always thinking of others, never failing to ask how I was doing when I would call you and David. You know how special David was and how he helped so many people and his love for you and love for life was impeccable. I will hold on to the good memories as I know that you will. Know that David is with you always and now he is watching over you the way you watched over him. God Bless my friend, Rose

May the Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father bring you peace in your broken hearts. May He hold you in His loving arms till you are reunited with David in our home above. David was one of the most special men I have ever meet. He was kind, caring, always willing to lend a helping hand and giving of his time to others. He was loved by some many not only in our little community of Surry but in the surrounding area. Lossing one we love is never easy but our faith in God will helps us through. My prayer and love are with you and your family.

Dear Mrs. Bausell, family, and friends,

I read of the recent loss of your husband in the newspaper for Hampton. Please accept my sincere condolences. Words fail to express the loss you have experienced or sympathies which I desire to express. Yet, at times like this we can draw comfort from the scriptures.

At times like these many wonder if God cares about the suffering and injustice that we as humans endure. Please notice what Jehovah God says to us at Jeremiah 29:11, 12, “‘For I myself well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope. And you will certainly call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.’” Is it not comforting that God is actively thinking about us and that these thoughts are peaceful!

One way God comforts us is through a wonderful hope for the future, even an end to sickness and death. Notice what Revelation 21:3, 4 says, “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Surely God does care about us and about out dead loved ones.

I have a tract entitled, "What hope for dead loved ones?"and I would be happy to send it to you if you are interested.

Sincerely, Andrea Liles

It sure has been my pleasure to serve with you and beside you in our careers at HENRICO FIRE. We talked and listened to one another and I will truly miss that and you.

Please accept my sincere condolences for you and your family's loss. GOD Bless all ...

Mona,
No words can express the sadness we feel for you and your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. David was a valued member of our community and his passing has left a hole in our hearts.
I will forever remember David as not only a great friend, but an excellent teacher. He always took the time to show me and teach me when no one else did. I worked my first code with David. He didn't ask for someone more experienced to step in, he just gave me the bag and said do it. After it was all over he talked me down all the way home. I will never forget him and the skills and confidence he gave me.
Emily

Mona - I was deeply saddend to hear of, first, "Cap'n Dave's" illness, and now his subsequent passing. I have good memories of both of you and know what a hardship this must be for both you and the family.

He was a special person for many reasons, and will be remembered by many.

Please know that your both are in my thoughts and prayers. Please don't hesitate to call upon me if you need anything.

God bless you and be with you at this diffcult time. He will bring you peace.

Bruce:

Our condolences to you and your family in this difficult time. The passage of time will help you accept this loss, but know that your brother's spirit will always live on in each of you.

We are so saddened by David's death. He was such a great example of "how to live". He was warmhearted, generous, and broad-minded enough to never meet a stranger. His warmth spread by his wide grin and crinkly eyes was always welcome. We will miss him in the community and especially in our church. God has certainly welcomed another angel home. The Sprouses

I didn't know David but I want to extend my condolences to Sylvia and the rest of the family. I will keep you in my prayers as you go thru this difficult time. God be with all of you.

A great friend, true southern gentleman and wonderful husband, son and brother has left us. Many of us spent uncounted days and nights working with Dave in the Marine Patrol, the Division of Fire and the Rescue Squad. Dave was kind, caring and giving in all that he did. We will miss him very much and his memory will be treasured.

Mona,

My heart is heavy for you at this time of loss. Know that I will be praying for you in the days ahead. You have my deepest sympathy and may God give you strength.

Mona

I know the days ahead will be sad for you, but Buck and I both know your life was touched by a very special person. Dave will always be a fond memory to us. He was the type of person that when he crosses your mind you see that smile of his. His kindness and generosity will stay with us all. You are very lucky to have shared his life with him, and him to have you in his. Our prayers will be with you always. Janet and Buck

Amy and I were saddened by the news of David's passing.

David fought a courageous battle with his illness and is a fine example to all, "life is precious and worth fighting for",especially when he (and his wife) are so loved and respected by their community.

I had the privilege of working with David as a member of the Surry Volunteer Rescue Squad. We shared some intense calls on occasion, and I was glad to have David working by my side.

We will always remember David as a freind and as a valued member of our community. Our heart felt symphany is with Mona and their family.

Paul Harte, Surry

We want you to know how heavy our hearts are for all of you. You will all be in our prayers now and always. Our memories of David are of his crinkley eyes filled with laughter, his huge smile, the Cooter club(Scooter) and of his down home kindness that always welcomed us in his and Mona's beautiful home. We will miss him greatly.
With our love and sympaty,
Joe & Lee Ann

Mona,

Our deepest sympathy. Unfortunately we only knew David for a short time, but we thought he was a super guy. We will miss his engaging smile and friendship. He will always have a special place in the hearts of all who had the good fortune to know him. God be with you.
