David Mays was one of the sweetest men that I have ever known. He took my Sammie girl an Alaskan Malamute doggie that Clayton and I had in the West End of Huntington when we moved to Proctorville back in 1986 and LOVED HER AS HIS OWN. I will always be grateful to him and Margaret for doing that. She loved his kindness toward her. I can only hope that she met him at the RAINBOW BRIDGE when he crossed over to the other side. Margaret and family my love and prayers surround you at this difficult time in your lives. We have THE BLESSED HOPE OF SEEING HIM AGAIN! And boy could he ever win at BINGO @ River's Edge Campground after his stroke. HE LOVED US CAMPERS and WE LOVED HIM DEARLY! He could NOT TALK BUT HE SAID A LOT BY HIS ACTIONS! Thankful for having the joy of knowing him on this earth. See you in Heaven dear one ~

We are saddened by David passing, but he is in a better place. He was an angel here on earth, now He one in heaven with the Lord.
