Ms. Marjorie,
My condolences and deepest sympathy for your loss. What you are experiencing has to be the toughest event a parent ever faces. I had to tragically watch my own son lose his 20 year old son to cancer in 2019. Our hearts are with Terry and his siblings as you all stand together in this time of sadness. My prayers for salvation and peace over David and his extended family. May God hold you in his hands.
