There are some people in this world who are, for lack of a better word, special. DavidDooley was one of God's special people. His purpose in life was simply to show love. And he more than fulfilled his purpose. When David talked to you he made you feel like you mattered. He made you feel like you were important. His casual manner and easy smile made everyone comfortable. I know that all of his family and friends will make sure that his precious little boy knows how special his daddy was. I love you David. I know you loved me too, because you told me. I'll see you again. ~ Lisa Choate, Cannon Co. High School Teacher.
