Dear Sandy and children,
and all the Stauffer family --
My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your dear Dave. I remember fondly our days at St Mary Hannah, growing up together with all the Stauffer kids who were actually cousins through my mom Sam. Because Hannah was so small, we seemed like one big family throughout our school days, especially in high school. Dave was younger but I remember his happy and gentle spirit.
You are in my thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead -- know that you are not alone. The Lord will share your burden if you let him, and you will feel His presence in the arms of support wrapped around you by family, friends and the community. Let this love help carry you for awhile, and know that David is with you all the way.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Sending love,
Judy Weber LaCross

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing Sandy. I never got to know you and your family, and haven't seen Dave for many years, but I remember him well when we were young. I'm Dave's 1st cousin who grew up in Kingsley, and am now in Nebraska. May your Higher Power give you peace in your hour of sadness.
