Prayers for Mrs. Blunt and family. I enjoyed working with David as a P.E. instructor at B.T. Elem. I admired him and he was my mentor as one who taught me patience, knowledge, enjoyment of my work, faith, and love for my students as my children; his students loved him and so did I. Mr. Blunt you have left great memories, and love to all of us who knew you and we will met one day and rejoice together.
