Richard joined our family in 1971 and became David Lloyd Pawson, the first names of our fathers older and younger brothers. He was a beautiful little boy with a smile that could melt your heart. David left our family on his sixteenth birthday and went to seek out his birth family whom he found. He remained in contact with us. He was very fond of his nieces and nephews and his reacquaintance with his birth family. He would brag about them in his many phone calls to us over the years. David found comfort at the end of his life at Ambrose Place. There he was surrounded by people who loved and cared for him until his early passing.
