Wow David... 8 years already in a more peaceful world. Don't think you'd like much what's going on, but know you'd want to make a difference!

For My Uncle Dave and his family; I am sorry I can't be there but here are a few words I hope will comfort you all. 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. I will always love and remember you Uncle Dave!!
