Dave, Will be remembered by me as my best friend throughout grade school and all the way through high school and then some. We had many adventures together that I wish I could share but we were blood brothers and sworn to secrecy .During those years I felt that I was part of Lyman family. Thank you to CH, Colleen, Pam, Dennis and Cory, Brent and Russell. I wish we could have been closer in our growing years. My greatest regret is that we did not stay in touch in all of those years after. With great love for you and your family, My condolences Bruce Cornia

We hope that God's promise of a resurrection (John 5:28,29) along with your cherished memories of Dave, will bring you comfort during this difficult time. We, with you, look forward to the fulfillment of God's original purpose for the earth when we can live forever on a peaceful earth along with our loved ones. - Psalms 37:9-11. Even death will be no more!-Revelation 21:3,4. May these promises be of comfort to you as you gain the strength and inner peace to cope with the days ahead.
