[fcb-l] David Land - Husband, Father, Friend, FCB Member

[Sila Miller]

Good evening,

There's just no easy way to put this news. This morning, around 9:00 a.m., 
David Land, a good friend of mine and a loyal FCB member peacefully passed 
into another life. David had been very ill and in a lot of pain for some 
time. His loving wife Patti has been by his side throughout his illness. 
They both told me how much they hated missing first our December Board 
meeting and then the convention. David loved FCB from the time in 2002 when 
Bill Freeman first invited him to a MFCB meeting. He worked tirelessly 
alongside Patti, helping with the treasury duties. He was a quiet soul until 
you got to know him. I am thankful beyond words to have had that 
opportunity.

David's memorial service is scheduled for next Saturday, the 17th at 2:00 
p.m. Fittingly, the service will be held at  "New Life" Community Church of 
the Nazarene. Memorial gifts may be made to either Lighthouse Central 
Florida,  215 E. New Hampshire St., Orlando, FL 32804 (which is where David 
and Patti met) or FCB, 919 S.E. 8th Terrace, Unit #2, Cape Coral, FL  33990, 
in care of Dale Roberts.

Please keep Patti and David's children and brother in your prayers.  It's 
the ones left behind who need the love, support and prayers now.

Pattianne, if there's any thing we can do for you, all you gotta do is call. 
I hope and pray for peace and comfort.

David, "the Milk Man," I'll never forget you and the laughter we shared and 
the good memories I have of you. You can put that old "readn iron" and stick 
down now. I know you can see perfectly. I raise my glass of good, cold milk 
up high! God rest and keep you, Friend.
Love, Sila
