Most important to David was his relationship with God and enduring love of his personal Savior, Jesus Christ. Supporting his great faith were a number of churches to which we express our gratitude, including Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Waterloo, Iowa; Grace Lutheran Church in Rockport, Texas; and Grace Lutheran Church in Vancouver, Washington.
