I've been waiting to write here because I haven't wanted to officially accept that this may be the best way to write down what I want to say to you. I think about you all the time. I say hello every morning that I drive by the Logan express on my way to work. Every time I make something new you are still the first person I think to ask their opinion. I miss your papa kisses. I miss your long lectures. I miss your stories. You were my main guy, the one who's smile could make my whole day great! I miss that smile so so much and would give anything to have it back. I wasn't ready to lose you, I'm not sure I would've ever been. This past week has been the toughest.. Thinking of holidays and how much fun we would have Christmas morning. I know you'll be there, watching us and smiling with David. Always thinking of you my big guy, love you always.. Your first grand baby

My Dearest Daddy...not a day goes by that I don't think of you and I know you know that and are walking by our side in spirit. My heart and faith tell me that you are in an amazing place called Heaven rejoicing and you are at peace, while our hearts are still mending. You were such a wonderful Daddy and I cherish all the times we had together as early as I can remember. I will carry on your legacy and keep our memories of you alive. Song sung blue.....I will always love you!

My deepest condolences to the Whelton family, Dave was a amazing man, I had the pleasure of knowing him for 6years taking the logan express bus. Dave was my sunshine before work we talked every morning about our family, restaurants, food, cars and life.
