To the family of David Kearney, I will surely miss my friend and his compassion, steadfastness, integrity, understanding, love and kindness. These are only a very few of his attributes, but they are so great for a great man. Not only was and is he a man of God, but a person you could count on and that is sometimes hard to find in this day and time. I appreciate how you all opened your home and hearts to, as you call us, "your girls." Although his presence is no longer with us, his spirit will always remain in my heart. May God strengthen you all in the times ahead and continue to grace you with His presence and love. Love always, Roanoke
