Dear David,
You handled your illness with such dignity, never complaining and remaining upbeat and positive until the end. You have left us far too soon and am just heartened that we got to spend almost 2 weeks of quality time with you in June. I am going to miss my beloved brother in law so much and you will always be in my thoughts. Rest in peace and my heartfelt condolences to Lynne. Love you always, Pam in Cape Town xx

Dear David
We were sorry to hear that you had passed on. It was great to see you when you came to Cape Town in 2017 when we all got together for Sunday lunch at the Woodcutters Arms in Hout Bay. We will miss you and your communication on Facebook and WhatsApp.

Dear Lynne
We convey our sincere condolences to you, the Lord and Barlow families, and you will be in our thoughts at the service on Monday.

Take Care
Heather & Dale x

Dear David. We've come a long way together since our humble beginnings at 13 Norman Street, Freetown. Along the journey we had lots of fun and good times and it brings great sadness that we now have had to say our goodbyes.

We enjoyed the quality time that we spent with you when we came to Bury in June and remember well the intuitive loving last WhatsApp message we had with you on the night before you passed on. Although not expected and sudden we are comforted that your suffering has not been prolonged.

Going to miss you so much and our daily WhatsApp's.

A big thanks to you David for being a very special brother and brother-in-law.

RIP and we hope you are in paradise, you certainly deserve to be!

With our Love forever,
Stephen & Pam
