You were a friend from the beginning, having given your time and effort to help the daughter of a friend; only to become the daughter's friend too. You fought for your country and had a big heart, helping those who needed it. You were a friend to many, but will be greatly missed by this one. Rest in Peace, David.

The last stanza of the Marine Corps Hymn ...."If the Army or Navy ever gaze on Heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines" David Ball has reported for duty and is standing his post.
