My brother David (our family always referred to him as "Buddy") and I were very close as young children. We played sports together and anytime I irritated others, he always came to my rescue. As young adults and during middle age, we were not quiet as close, but we did get together for a tennis match occasionally - and surprisingly in the early years, David won - even though I played on a regular basis & he only played occasionally - he did not like to loose. David will be missed by all of his family, and especially by the Apple of His Eyes, his Daughter Heather Cooper Carney, and his three grand-children: Reilly, Hana and Nathan. Be comforted that Papa is now "free of pain". I am most proud of the fact, that during the last years of his life, David reconnected with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In doing so, David did not loose, he actually gained the "unconditional love" of our Father in Heaven - David is now "free of pain" and each member of his family can be comforted in knowing that David is now resting in the Lord's House. (In closing, my sincere thanks and appreciation for the super folks at Chattahoochee Hospice to include but not limited to Kelly Barefield, Carla and Linda, and many others left unnamed and the nursing and care staff with Lanier Nursing Home, and Dr. Joseph Downs, David's primary Doctor, for the exceptional care that each and every one of you provided to David during the last year or so of his life. Finally, to my sister Ruby and my brother-in-law, Pete, the two of you are wonderful Angels as well - your care and Love of David the past 4 plus years has been exceptional. May the Lord continue to Bless All of You Wonderful Folks. With Love, Larry
