David, Vickie, and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers go out to David and his family.

David has been incredibly brave during this ordeal and has certainly gained my respect and admiration for the strength he has displayed. Not once has he even hinted at seeking sympathy or pity. While the outcome is certain, I wish him continued strength to the end. We are losing a REAL MAN.
