My dear son.....Hardly can believe another birthday is here. I celebrate your birthday, because I know where you are and know you are so free, in the arms of our Jesus. About this time you were 18 hours old and so so cute! I held you close, loved you so much. Your sister has moved to Huntington Beach, not too far from where we all used to live. She loves the sunshine, and especially the ocean. It was the same area where we used to go to the beach...You and your sisters loved to play in the surf and had such fun! We'd get home in time to have a nice dinner when dad got home, but we did our share of having some fun before he got home! I think of those times and have to smile....I do so miss you, son, but know someday we will be together again. Just know that on this birthday, I am thinking of you as always, and love you with all my heart. You are so blessed and happy and healed. Praise the Lord! So just know we all miss you so much. All my love to you, sweet David...Mom

Memorial weekend is here, where thoughts are collectively with all our family. My heart and thoughts are always with you, son David. Life is a mixture of joy and sorrow. I think of you so, so much and miss you every moment. No one but another mom can know the pain with losing a precious child...and also the joy of the child that has brought so much love into our lives. You are a special person with a special place in my heart that no one else can fill. Each child is so very precious and God given, and are so loved. Today I thank God for you coming in to my life. The knowledge is so comforting, that we will be together again, all of us. So, again, my precious son...thinking and loving you today, as I will forever....God is blessing you and me too...love, mom.

........Precious David.......Here I am again...always to tell you how much I love you and miss you. Never a day goes by that I think about you and hold you close in my heart. My heart broke this past month as Dad and I drove beside the Salton Sea.....where we have pictures of you children at play. I cried all the way, just because I miss you so much. The picture here is when we all went to Sea World, San Diego, California, where we all had fun. Such memories...wonderful and comforting. I know you are with our Lord and at such total peace, and that makes me okay. Just know that every once in a while, I have my moments and my heart cries out to God....and He reassures me that you are in His Hands and that He and you both are very happy! I love you, honey...until we meet again...I cherish every moment we had together...........Love....Mom

A very special love came into my life this day, those years ago. What a profound experience to see my little baby boy, so sweet and so innocent. I am so blessed to have had you for a season. A season that I didn't see coming, that was going to be short as it was. Today I celebrate your birth again, and thank God that He gave you to me to take care of until He called you home. Never was a son so loved as I love you. From a little tyke, as you learned to talk, you would answer a question with a "Hawwwww" and a twinkle in your eyes and a precious smile. I can see it right now. What a delight. It is so comforting to know that where you are, you are so absolutely whole, free and happy beyond any imagination. In church this morning, about the cross. If not for that cross and the shed blood of our Jesus on that cross, there would be no hope. But you know the Truth and the Truth has set you free! David, I love you so and forever you live strong in my heart, and I am so blessed. We all miss you terribly.....just know that we will be with you someday, and will endure until then. Tell Jesus that mom talked to you today...and that I love Him. Happy Birthday, my precious son!.........Mom

....dearest precious son David....thinking of you so much. It is still hard to believe you aren't with us in person this wonderful Easter season......Only one year ago today, you left us to be with your Heavenly father. I hold you so close in my heart, and yes, I do have peace, but also I hurt. We all miss you so much. But, my son...nothing will ever separate us, not even this, because we know we will be together again someday. So.....just sharing my heart today......I love you with all my heartforever.....always.....Mom

.....dearest precious son David...it is so hard to believe that you won't be here in person to celebrate Christmas with us.....you are sorely missed honey....I know you would say to us..."don't cry for me..."I am spending Christmas with my Jesus this year...and every year.....forever...and someday you will join all of us here and we spend eternity together..!" So, we will think of you, for we can feel your heart, and can take such comfort in knowing you are at complete and at a stage of joy that only we can imagine! We love you so much and think of you every day. A picture wall is in direct view in the living room and in our hall-wall. I smile and throw a kiss when I pass it. Today we leave for Caryn's and will share celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love you with all my heart......Mom

I've known David since 7th grade through my lifelong friend Jami and the rest of her wonderful family, whom I've always considered to be my second family. In high school, David was always easy to be around, carefree, but also had a wild and fun side to him, like when playing his drums. Most of our time spent was in passing one another, but there was always an exchange of closeness and brotherly love. It's heartbreadking that David left this life so early, but he will always remain in our hearts forever.

Dear David,
My heart is broken and will never be the same. Nothing will ever be the same without you here.
I can not believe you are gone....I have so many fun memories of us growing up as kids, I adored you. Always looked up to you. You would always watch out for me..it bugged me, but inside I knew it was your way of showing me how much you cared and loved me. I love you. Im sorry I didnt get a chance to tell you that one more time!....God has taken you too soonaand I
will never understand. I am only going to find PEACE in knowing you are in God's care now and that we will be together one sweet day. I will carry you in my heart forever.
Love you with all my heart.....
Your Sis..........J

I dated Dave for a short period in my teenage days. He had some crazy hot rod car that made crazy noise coming up my driveway. My parents were left shaking their heads often I'm sure, but they always got a chuckle from it. When I head of Dave passing I felt like a part of my childhood was taken. I would think of him now and again and wondered where he was. I wish now I would have tried to find him. Anyway we had some good times and I wore the best prom dress ever to attend with Dave. He was so handsome.

Bye Cousin David. I will remember all the times we had getting together with you while growing up. I know you are at peace now and in heaven with my mom and dad and all of our family that has passed on before. Love, your cousin

Just wanted you to know our hearts are grieving right there beside yours and we are lifting you all up in prayer during this heartbreaking "season" in your lives. As we grieve along with you because of David's passing, we rejoice for him as he now is "absent from the body, present with the Lord." What hope and peace it brings knowing he's about to spend his first Resurrection Weekend with the One who made it possible to do so. We know there are no words that will help the ache in your hearts, knowing you'll not see your precious son/brother/uncle this side of Heaven. We feel so honored to have known such a wonderful man with such a gentle spirit, full of love for his family. May the Lord comfort you as only He can during this time. Much love to you all.

Dear Cecil, Joyce, Jami, Caryn and family,
My heart felt sorrow for your loss of David. As this is a very difficult time for all of you, my prayer is that you are able to rest in Jesus and let His love and comfort bring to you the peace that passeth all understanding. I have fond memories of David as a young girl when your family lived next door to ours in Fountain Valley, CA. David had eyes that shined with kindness and compassion. I remember when he got his drum set and was so proud of it. I felt so privileged when he helped me learn to play the Rolling Stones song, "Honky Tonk Women". Thru Christ, we will be reunited again. What a day of rejoicing that will be.
Gods peace and love to each of you.
Love,
Kim Rubadue (Welle)
