What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Chester! He was my brother and friend who never asked why things were wrong, just made sure he could enjoy what we were doing and did the most of it. He will be missed for his 18yrs of helping me through good and bad. EJG

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dave when I worked at the Gurnee Village Hall. In fact, I always crossed my fingers when I called PD that Dave would be the one to answer. He was always cheerful and happy to help -- no matter how busy he was at the time. He was a great guy and I know he will be missed by his friends and co-workers.
