Hi Dave,
Well, tonight is was thinking of you (not that I don't think of you every day!) I decided to look up your guest book that has so many pages of memories, takes quite a while to read all of them. It makes me so proud of you--so many people saying their thoughts and memories of what you have meant to them.
I just needed to let you know how I feel about everything they have said about you. How proud I am that you are my son. I am so happy that I had all you kids. Dad and I wanted a big family--a loving family we do have.
Keep looking over us and you will be proud of your siblings, too.
I know how proud you must be of your daughters, Alyssa and Meghan, they are so special because they are yours.
Lots of love,
Mom

Hi Daddy!!
We all miss you so much. This week is my 8th grade graduation and I am super excited. I had my graduation dance on Friday and it was a lot of fun. Everyone was dressed up and looked so nice. I will be going to Bishop Guertin High School next year and I can't wait. I just finished my ODP Soccer season and it was great. I learned so much. I miss you so much.
I Love You,
Meg<3

Happy Birthday Dave! I think about you all the time but especailly yesterday!

Today we won our game. Well, let's just say... we won by a lot. I put in all of my effort today because I knew that you would be extremely proud of me.

Remembering you today, your 52nd birthday, Dave and adding my annual loving wish for the upcoming Cramb Christmas which will be held here at Frank's on Sunday--my wish that you could be with us. Of course, you are always with us in our thoughts and memories. I mean how could you ever not be with us--you are such a big part of our family, and your family too. They will be with us this Sunday also.
MERRY CHRISTMAS honey. God bless you.

My dearest brother Dave,
Graduation for Alyssa was absolutely wonderful. She is so grown up and now off to college. I bet your smiling that famous smile you so often did. Its been 4 years now and I miss you so. I hope that this fathers day as I remember you and dad, who both were taken from us way too soon.. know that every day gets better in dealing with your passing. I do admit that I, and probably all of us had you in our thoughts as we saw Alyssa get her diploma thinking you should of been there too. I am sure a tear or two was shed by all at some point as we pondered that thought.
Love you my brother..... "Ca"
December 20, 2011
Dear David,
Here I am thinking of you on your 51st birthday. I had a Mass said for you this morning and afterwards took Kelly, her Mom and Fr. Nelson (who said the Mass) out to Denny's for breakfast or lunch, whatever. We said Happy Birthday to you. We never will forget you, all of us miss you and always will.
Love you with all my heart,
Mom.
December 20, 2011
Dave,
It's been 3 years now and I still see your face when I close my eyes at night. You will never ever be forgotten. When the Mayfield gang gets together you are always brought up in conversation, we had great times growing up together and I reminisce all the time about them.....Happy B-day Bro......
Miss you always.....
Love ya,

Yesterday was you, you, you. The race. We were there of course thinking of you as your daughters, siblings,etc. were walking or running in the race, 3 yrs. now. Meghan came in second in her age catagory. Afterwards we went to your grave to say "hi". Then to Lisa & Mark's for a barbecue. The weather was just beautiful despite a forecast of rain (which came later in the day). Maybe you sent the sun for us? Today is Father's Day and I'm sure Alyssa and Meghan are thinking of you and wishing you were still with us, me too. I miss you very much, my dear son. Keep watch over all of us. I love you so much.

GRIN and smile on my brother!

Another year has passed (3 years) and I am doing better but still miss the heck out of ya brother!. The girls are growing and becoming such great young women. Lisa is ensuring that they have the support they need and handling them only the way a mother can. You are proud of all of them I am sure. The race is this weekend and I wish I could go but its just not possible right now. I will say a happy fathers day to you my brother and know that each day that passes I miss you still, but am getting to handle and accept your passing and move on with my life. Love you Dave.....smile on!

Hello Dave!
So you turned the big 5-0 last week. It was little depressing not being able to talk to you on your birthday. I still have your cell phone programmed into my phone. How sad is that! I miss you so much and still think about you all the time. Happy Belated Birthday!!!!
Love you

December 22, 2010
Dear Dave,
I had a Mass said for you on Monday, your 50th birthday. I reminisced about the day you were born. You started being born before we got to the delivery room! Your life was like that--always busy. I will never, never forget you my dear David.
I took a friend to lunch that day to the Boston Fish House. You liked that restaurant. We said grace and then wished you a HAPPY 50th.
Lots of love,
Mom
December 21, 2010
Well Dave you turned the big 50 yesterday, Sandy and I had a B-day toast for you, though we froze our butts off.....
We still miss you and think of you everyday.
Love you Brother,

Hey brother......2 years have passed and I still can't believe your gone. I miss your grin, your willingness to be there for whomever....for your girls especially. My turtle dedication in my garden is in memory of you, since seeing them within 24 hours of your passing made me feel it was your way of saying its okay, I'm with dad! Love you brother. God bless all that miss you so much..theres so many of us!
Say Hello to Steve for me. We miss you.

To my friend Dave:
What can I say? I cannot believe it has been a year. You have such a wonderful,loving family. The things that they are doing in your memory brings many tears to my eyes. The last time I saw you was at Matthews graduation party. We had a nice talk about our kids and how important it is to be good parents to them no matter what you go through in your own life. They grow up fast, "teach them in the way they should go and they will not depart with it". I will remember that, Dave. That is what you were to your daughters, a FANTASTIC dad. Always there for them.
We miss you so much and I am looking forward to the Deep Sea Fishing trip I am taking with Frank in your honor. I haven't been since I was 16, so this will be fun and I am taking my daughter. Everyone here gives you a kiss, and I gave your mother a hug for you. We know we will see you again. In the meantime, watch over all of us and be our guardian angel!!
Lots of Love xo

Hello to all the Cramb Family, WOW, 1 year already. So hard to believe. Funny how when we were all kids, we never thought about what could or would happen to any of our parents or ourselves. When you are a kid all is well with the world. As we marry and move on with our lives , we never forget the growing up days, we dont see the friends we grew up with as many move away or whatever HOWEVER we NEVER FORGET those days. I will never forget growing up with the Mayfield kids. The Crambs were my best friends. David was such fun and always laughing. Life was good. Never forget the ones you love. Dave, say hi to my Mom&Dad and my John. I love them&miss them so much. Always Pamala (Williams)Hewitt, Lunenburg,Mass

Dear David, Just got home from the walk today in your honor. Lots of people there and it was a beautiful day, and after the rainy weather we have had this week it was so welcome. Well, it was just for you and maybe from you.
I am so proud of you, with so many people coming to celebrate you and all you have done for your town and for each and every one of us.
Your generosity was so wonderful and your love for us could only be topped by our love for you. You will always be with us, my dear David. And you will always be a member of our family. I still have 7 children.
Your loving Mom, Barbara

Hi Dave, I'm taking the time today to remember you in a special way on the first anniversary of your death. I still feel the sadness that you're gone and when I look at your picture I can't believe you're gone from this life. I also smile because your infectious smile shows what a loving, gifted, person you were. I showed your picture to a woman I clean house for and she said the picture brought her feeling that you were a special person. She could tell that just by looking at your picture. I want to say more but the words are not coming easy. I wish we could have spent more time together and your death reminds me of how short time is. We have to let the people in our lives know that we love them and that they are important to us. I hope you know I felt this way about you. You were important to me and I'll always love you. I'm proud to have had a brother like you. I pray for you often and pray that you are with God in Heaven and that you are very happy. Say hi to Dad for me and tell him I miss him too and I love him.God Bless David! Love, Diane

Hi Dave,
I wanted to share my thoughts about our last moments together and what it meant to me. Virginia and I were travelling the East coast in October 2007 to introduce her to all my family and friends. I was excited to have her meet you - one of my oldest, dearest and loving friends of all time. We surprised you when you showed up to dinner with your kids at Joe & Cindy's place. You didn't know that I'd be there. In sort of a movie moment, we had to stride towards each other across the long grassy area between Joe's house and sugar barn before we could get in a good hug. Man - that cheeky Grin! That's the face I'll take with me forever.
During dinner we ate, blabbed, laughed, drank some, ate some more and it was just such a wonderful night. Alyssa and Meghan told funny stories. Danny and Tommy did too. Later we had Cindy's home made apple pie topped with ice cream and a wicked puddle of Joe's maple syrup. Virginia felt so comfortable and welcomed by everyone. It was one of those magical wonderful times. Smiles everywhere. Catching up. Stories about life in the West and life in the East.
They say that you're not supposed to take anything for granted, because you never know. Not to put things off because you never know. We're supposed to take the time to celebrate with each other over the little victories and the major milestones. Thinking back to that night, it was a perfect example of doing these things - living life to the fullest, not taking anything for granted and not putting anything off. We nailed it huge in the karma department. All that winter back in Los Angeles, Virginia and I continually talked about our trip, the friends we visited and all we experienced. That night was a highlight in our journey. If I had known that it would be our last, I still wouldn't have changed a thing.
And here we years later. Virginia and I are engaged, and she's moving in to my little bungalow - which I'm feverishly trying to ready with new laundry room and office. And yes dude, I'm doing some electric wiring. Oh man it can be scary. But I have an electrician who's been helping me. A fellow mountain biker and backpacker friend. He displays the same attention to detail and follow through as you. You'd like him. But I still think of you when I'm about to grab a few wires to twist on a wire nut - and in so doing - more than once, I've stopped short and double checked that I've turned off all the power. (Again :)
Dave, you're still with me buddy. And although we're separated by a thousand points of light, ageless mysteries of the universe and even layer of smog, we're still connected - and I am so grateful for that.

David,
When I think of you, I still have to do a double take in my brain to realize, ah, reality. Like Carolyn and Frankie said, your girls are beautiful and growing so fast. Gassa and I talked to Meghan at the pig roast about you (don't worry, not too much ;). She seemed to be enjoying "our" memories. If you see Memere & Pepere in yout travels, ask Pepere about his favorite joke. It would be tasteless of me to write it here, but you and your Dad will get a kick out of it (over and over). It was his favorite.
Love and miss ya!!!

Dave, your smile is something I will never forget...

Dear Dave,
I feel like its been a whirlwind since last year and your very early exit from this life into your after life. We were getting more reconnected, you, me and Frank......hanging in Leominster after our big D's, first at my house, then at Franks after I sold.....our last night out was 3 weeks before that day....you me and Mel (singles night), we danced and laughed and you stayed at my apartment so we could talk all night! I really miss that.....then the next weekend I moved in with Lauren and you came down to help....you always gave your time to others.....I am so glad that Lauren was with you, even though it was hard on her, I think God gave you each other that day. I hope you know that I think of the weekend before, I was leaving from Matt's graduation party in Pepperell, saying bye's to all and getting into my car, when you came over to find me and say bye, I felt guilty as I thought you had left already ....little did I know that it would be our last conversation. Well at least face to face, I do talk to you a lot, LOL
I looked for your last email and it was the one that you sent to say that you would go to the Red Sox game.....I know you were there in spirt...and OMG there was the one that referenced the light at the end of the tunnel and that you hoped it wasn't from a train.....well I guess that train was ready to pick you up and take you to the after life...
Now a year later, I am in my home in Tennessee and thinking how you told me "Ca I am so excited for you....start a new chapter and be happy" .... Well things havent gone as well as I would of liked, but getting better every day. Send me a sign Dave....I need it to get a job and find myself a good man. I know that turtles make me think of you...
Well I have rambled on and now will close with a sigh and tear, as emotions still overwhelm...but know that my tears are healing me... I cry for your girls, for mom and for all of your siblings and friends who miss you and will honor you next weekend at the walk. Say hi to dad!
Peace and god bless!
Love,
Ca

-Hey Dave,
Remember spin the bottle behind Affleck's house? How about cutting my hair out of the spokes of the front tire of the bike with the loose handle bars after taking the jump all you boys talked me into doing? Remember when Bobby Mack hit me in the shoulder with a b.b. gun from your garage? I grabbed a pitchfork and chased him while you laughed like hell. We stole your Dad's rhubarb and dipped it in sugar at 2:am. Then we stole Mrs. Mack's rhubarb. Then we stole your's when you took over the family garden. I always hated asparagus, but you and your Dad started a crop 30 years ago and we all watched it grow with amazement (and no one stole it - what's up with that?). Who am I going to get the awesome bread & butter pickle recipe from?...You and your Mom make the best!!! Stop peeking in our windows...if you kill our fish, next time flush them...don't drink my mother's cooking wine...(the fish situation followed the wine tasting - I think we were at Disney World - and I think Frankie had a hand in it too). Bloody murder on Mayfield!!! If kids played that today (screaming it all over the neighborhood), parents wouldn't let them out of the house. Croquet and poison? You were hovering over me when I shattered my elbow at 14 and was taken down in the sled...I was comforted just seeing your face. You just never thought to look down when I was yelling your name. I'm glad Lauren was with you for comfort and love!! We love you Dave and you know I could go on forever...You will be missed more than ever!!!!!
Love, Jackie

Dearest Cramb Family,
It is always hard to find the right words to say in such a time of sadness, loss, and grief. In reality, no words remove such heart felt pain, but just knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of others must certainly be comforting. I was in disbelief when I received a text message from Lauren last Sunday that David had passed. I literally had to read my text message three times to make sure I was reading it correctly. Personally, I feel so fortunate to have lived in Groton and enjoyed a generation who all knew and supported one another. Because I grew up in these special times in Groton with special people such as David , I can honestly say that it influenced and shaped the values and value system in my life to make me a better person. Yes, David's loss is hard for his family and friends that survive him but know that he made the difference in the lives of so many people. Testament to this is refelected by all who have responded and signed his guest book and shared their memories of David. It was once said that, "the measure of a man is not measured while he is alive...it is measured, unfortunately, when he has passed". This quote certainly applies to David and his life. It would be irresponsible of me not to mention the special bond David had with his sister Lauren. Growing up, I was able to witness this bond between the two of them and it was God's grace that allowed David to spend his last moments in this life with the person he had felt most closest too.
Your family, as wll as David, is in my thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy.

Dear Cramb family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Although it has been many years since I have seen David, it seems like yesterday. He always had a smile and a friendly way about him, everyone's friend.
May God bless you all in these very difficult days.
Sincerely,
Karen (Roach) Barron

Hello to all the family. I was shocked to hear about David. I too have fond memories of Groton. I enjoyed all the cookouts and the family get togethers. He will be missed tremendously. My prayers are with you all. Love Karen
David LaVita
June 21, 2008
Dear Barbara, children, and family
As I think of David. A smile, a twinkle in the eye, and jest for life. He has passed right before our eyes. The fullfillment of God's script is done in mysterious ways.
I was not able to be at the wake or funeral as I am out of town. Karen was there. My apology comes with this note.
Watching you all grow to be fine examples of your lovely parents. No one could ask for more. Parents cannot always shelter their children. We wish we could. Each child is a cornerstone in their heart. To lose a son, Dad, brother or a friend while Mom's journey through life is being lived. It is the most serious feeling of emptiness.
David's sudden loss is tragic and confusing. Yet he left us doing something he wanted to do. Running a race, being a competitor, and taking on challenges to fill his spirit of love, laugh and charity.
None of us know what script God has written for us. Yet through his guidance and command it is followed.
This great sadness will someday turn to a smile. But we are thankful for the precious time we had to share with David.
I pray that this most difficult time of shock and sadness not severely hurt anyone that was close to David and loved him. Especially his immediate family, Mother, and children.
May God bless you all, and comfort your heart.
Sincerely,
David and Karen La Vita and family.

To the entire Cramb family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I have lots of great memories of Dave, from riding bicycles and playing softball on Mayfield Drive when we were just kids, to graduating High School together and all the good times and conversations we had at Summer parties and get togethers in the years since then. Dave was a genuine, sincere guy that always had a smile on his face and lived life to its fullest with an infectious energy that inspired everyone who knew him. We'll all miss him, and we'll never forget him.

I grew up with Dave in Groton and he will be missed. I know nothing that can be said can ease this pain and loss. May this blessing give us some sense of peace. Hugs, Cara
Dave, may you fare well in this, your souls greatest journey, in this, your spirit’s new adventure. Know that all your friends and loved ones miss you; for you have deeply affected all of our lives.
But Dave, we have faith in immortality, rebirth and transcendence and we look forward to meeting you again, perhaps in a world beyond, outside of time and outside of space. And it is our prayer that you are being guided by other loved ones and other spirits of light.
Dave, as we think about you now, we offer a prayer for your well-being.
We call upon you, our deity, who is manifest in all of the good, loving and protective powers of the universe. And we call to all angels of guidance and to all good and protective spirits.
Please go to Dave and give his spirit strength in this, his time of transition into the ethereal state, into the world of spirit. Please help Dave and protect him that he may readily go forward into a better state of existence.
And please, for the sake of we who remain behind, grant us a word or sign of comfort, that we may renew our faith and look forward to reunion with all of those whom we have loved.
Until we meet again, so it is, and so it shall be. Blessed Be.

There wasn't a week that went by that we didn't need "Daves expertise and advise." You were truely a great friend, father, and role model. We will greatly miss you forever!!

Dorothy Janes
June 18, 2008
Dear Mrs Cramb, Dianne, Carolyn, Frank, Lauren, Noel & Cathy,
How saddened I am for the sudden loss of your son & brother respectively. Like most other Mayfield brats, I will always remember growing up and playing with the Crambs, the Millers, the McLeods, the Janes, the Gosselins, the Lavignes, & the Longs on Mayfield and often it was all 30-40 of us at once in some massive game of Pop-Fly/500 --(or whatever we called it then), softball, Capture the Flag that lasted 3-4 days or the frequent bike jumping contests starting at the top of the hill at the end of the Crambs driveway and ending hopefully with the EVIL KANIVAL wannabe of the moment (usually David or Steve Mack or Steve Janes or Bob Gosselin or at least one if not all of the Longs) landing with two wheels somewhere on the Gosselin's driveway rather than with any one or more of the other Mayfield idiot kids who lined up prone on the Gosselin's driveway directly in the projected jumping field mangled between my mother's bicycle spokes which unbeknownst to my mother was often borrowed for the long jumps. So many memories over the 20-25 years we all knew each other well enough to figure that lunch was lunch regardless of whether it was found at the Macks, the Crambs, the Millers, the Mcleods, the Janes, the Gosselins or the Longs and that a trip to the beach was a trip to the beach no matter whose mother was willing and perhaps crazy enough to allow 9 or 10 of us to squeeze into their station wagon -- never finding or fastening a seat belt -- and tag along for the day. Those were the days and it was a great way to grow up. David - like my brother Steve - was always right in the thick of all the fun and troublemaking we also called fun (for all the Mayfield kids anyway) in those days. He was a very nice guy then who I'm sure also grew into and continued to be a very nice man who loved and cared for his family. I extend my condoleances and heartfelt sympathy to his family and his children. David will be remembered well and respectfully but most of all fondly by those of us who had the fun of growing up together on Mayfield.

Dear Mrs. Cramb and Frank,
I was saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Although it's been years since I've seen or spoken with him, my high school memories are of him being a great guy and someone who would help you if you needed it.

I was genuinely saddened by the passing of David Cramb. He was at my home for a few weeks this winter doing some electrical work. On countless occasions my daughter would tiptoe upstairs to see him. David always stopped what he was doing, got down on bended knee and talked to her endlessly. He proudly spoke to me of his two girls and told me that daughters are something special. This family and community has lost a truly great guy!

Dave, Why do bad things happen to good people? Maybe some day we will know the answer. For now we have the memory of a very special guy who always made our lives better. I'll be tipping one back in your honor with the rest of the masses this Saturday in Groton. Good by good buddy!!!

Dear Mrs. Cramb, Diane , Frank, Carolyn, Noelle, Lauren and Cathy. I am extremely saddened by Daves sudden death. My heartfelt love and sympathy go out to all of you. I remember all the fun we had as kids on Mayfield , all of us always together at one house or another and I think this is how I will choose to remember Dave. Mrs. Cramb, I cant even imagine how you must be feeling. To have a son or daughter pass away has got to be the absolute worst pain for any parent. My heart and love go out to you.Being a Christian, my thoughts are that he is in the arms of his Dad once again. To his children, may you always remember how much your Dad loved you. Memories are a beautiful thing. Stay close as a family and help each other with all the support you can give to one another. God Bless you all. Love, Pamala (Williams) Hewitt, Groton,Mass
