My heartfelt condolences to you & your family on the death of a former coworker. David and I worked together for a number of years @ Chenier Library and I must say there was never a dull moment when he was around. He was a very loyal & humble worker. His death is very difficult to bear. He was not only a colleague for me but also a very dear friend. He will be deeply missed & he will never be forgotten. May God give your family the strength & peace to bear the situation. Shirley Auzenne

With Sympathy & Love, Hilliard Family

My condolences to the family of My Dear friend Mr. Dave, He was truly a gentlemen, proud and a well dress man. He was a loyal friend to my dad Mr. Jessie and I. When he moved to the neighborhood he just fit right in, It was like we had been knowing him forever! He would come to our family functions and holiday dinners, invite us to his family gatherings. He was family. To his kids, your dad was extraordinary, He will truly be missed by North General Marshall Gang. He would say "I run General Marshall" it was so funny to me! My Dad and him, they would go at it about who did. Between the two of them. May you rest peacefully in heaven Mr. Dave.

May God Bless The Family From Mr A Mrs Billy Darby Abbeville Louisiana JA3M8R

Condolences to the family and friends all who loved him. I pray he rest in peace. He was a nice person. Will miss seeing him around.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. David Mingo. I've had the pleasure of working with him at the library. He was very independent and can make the kids at the library behave with military background.

I will forever treasure the laughters and jokes we shared. Rest in peace. - Jason Gilbert

My condolences to the family of David. I had the opportunity to work with David at Chenier Branch Library. He was a quiet man, a very generous man. He was always helping the patrons. Didn't miss anybody he worked with birthday. He wasn't a push-over. I retired before David, so I didn't see him anymore, but I always ask Ms Ella about David. May God be with him and the family. God Bless:Diane W. Francis

With deepest sympathy for your loss. I was fortunate to work with David at the Main Library and often time would vist with him at the Butler Branch Library. David was such a head strong person he had a special way about himself, serious and yet still a lot of fun he walked to the beat of his own drum. I will always remember the long conversations we had the laugh and all the disagreements, but I alway looked forward to seeing him. REST IN PEACE Lydia Chaisson

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
