    David I didn’t know u but I knew about u. Even thou I’m older we would have been good friends if we were closer. I have brothers ur age u would like them too. If u were ready for a harmless party they’d be there to have a few beers with. They are about half crazy and full of life u. I to love to ride motorcycles. Had my first bike when I was 18. I could ride every bit as good as the guys and they liked it. I love nature also. Take pride in a tree even. Vicki I u and my brothers would have had a good time. I love helping others also. U beloved companion would fit right in too. Now ur there to make a nest for ur family and can show us around. I don’t know why people like u have to die young and the Charles mansions of the world live on. Apparently ur giving ways told God u deserve ur rewards so u can calm down that wild and crazy sister of urs. No she’s a sweetie and u will help her pass when it’s time. God bless u David ????????
