Connie Tate wrote a sympathy message

“I am sad and sorry for everyone who knew David and lost him and lost him in such a manner. How he hurt everyone with his choice of death. It is difficult to understand what goes on in one's head to cause them to make such a drastic choice as to ending their life. I'm sorry and sad he will miss out on seeing his children grow up and become the adults they will become. This kind of pain never goes away. And the question Why is always there. I know the hurt. I'm still dealing with it myself.”

Connie Tate wrote a sympathy message

“David, I am still struggling three years later over your death. Why? I ask myself, Why? After all the years we were kept apart, not allowed to develop our own sibling relationship and finally, we connect after Mom's death and was beginning to develop a sister and brother relationship, Why? Mom cheated us and you cheated us too. I feel so much sadness over your loss, hurt, anger and confusion. All the years Mom threatened suicide and never did and you end up choosing to do this. Why?”
