Donette, I was given the honor to place a flower for David at the memorial service in Washington DC this year. I went to the memorial wall and did a rubbing of his name and collected some items from that service. I was going to send them to the Denver Police Department, but would very much like to send them to a family member. If you would like to send me your address I would very much like to mail these items to you. I am a police officer for Tulsa Police Department. My email address is
