SACRED
To The Memory of
David Pope.
David was part of the largest migration
in the world when he was banished to another country.
He had found a place in history far away
from his homeland;
David may have sensed his life was
ending.
Yes, he died 5 months later in his new
land.
May David Pope rest in peace?
