Cherish the fond memories and always keep in mind that some time in the future we will all be together again.
Jerry and Paula our hearts are so heavy for you. David was a very sweet young man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love y’all
David is a treasured friend and part of our family. I regret being unable to attend his service. He has caused huge shifts in my life and without that I would be less of the person who I am today. I am grateful to have known him and love him. I hope he is happy, calm, and peaceful now.
I hope that his family will understand his actions and hold no malice or guilt for he is no longer suffering.
Dr. Hawkins and Puala. We are so sorry for the loss of your Son David. May his soul rest in peace in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank God for the life of Billy David Hawkins.
David was one of my favorite 4th graders—always kind, considerate, and had a great sense of humor! I know first-hand the pain of losing a son. No parent should ever have to experience the loss of a child. Respect the power of grief and know that I share it with you! God bless you and yours. Denise????

I have no words. David was always an absolute joy who brought me so much laughter and fun. I never met Mr. David and Mrs. Paula, but I loved your son and the light he brought to the world. I'm praying for your family during this time.
Jerry and Paula,
Please except my sincerest condolences on your loss. May God grant you comfort and heal your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
