David Welch you are my best friend. My Lord took you home before I could even say goodbye. He does that sometimes. I hope your journey was painless. I know you went bravely, for you are brave. I was very lucky to have known you. Many times you inspired me to be a better person, with your kind subtle nature. I liked you from the very first day we met. I learned to love like a brother and I always will. You will certainly be missed. So go and ride the wind with the lord. Check out my mansion, I know I that I do so look forward to one day riding the wind with you and my lord. Thanks my friend for all the wonderful times.
