Name: Linda Holbrook Date: 9/27/2021 2:54:21 PM Message: Dinah and family, I was so sad to hear about David. We grew up together at FBC and he always had a smile and would give a big pat on the back. Even after I left Holly Springs, when I'd go back, he'd remember me and I'd get the that pat on the back...it would almost knock me down. I sat with him one of the last times I was In town, your dad was still in the choir, and I had the hymnal open to the songs and David and I held the hymnal and he sang right along. It was a special memory for me. He was a sweet guy and I know, he has that perfect body now.
