Sandi, David & Tonja,
We knew your fathers time was almost up hear on earth. It was still a shock when we learned of his passing. He was a wonderful person who would give you the shirt off his back. I will miss his friendly greeting and smile. His passing is easier knowing that he is no longer in pain. My father and your father are now our guardian angels.

Dave will be missed by many people. For those who knew him were truly blessed. He was a great neighbor and friend. Always willing to give a helping hand even when he wasn't feeling well himself. So today we say so long until we meet again.

Dear Sandi and Family,
I will miss the quaint little saying that Dave and I had when he came off of midnights: "Good morning, Good night", watching Dave putter around in the yard and him just being a great friend. I will miss that friendship more than you know, and will always remember how great of a mind and how great his hands were with wood especially every time that I look at the big plywood moose that he made for me, because he know that I thought the moose was one of the most magnificent animals. I will miss you my friend and I will never forget the smile you gave me the last time I said, 'I love you'. We had some good times. I miss you my friend, Donna

I'm sorry for your loss. I worked with Dave for the past 5 years. He had that uniqueness about him that you rarely see, he had the ability to look for the good in everyone and everything. No matter the day or time he always had a chuckle and a smile. He will be missed by many. I'm happy for the opportunity given me to have been his co-worker for the past 5 years.

Dear Sandi and Family, I am so sorry for your loss, but yet so happy that my brother had a wounderful life with each of you. When we had our talk's he would speak about his children and wife, "with out you guys my brother would be so lost" and you children and great grandchildren, whom he was very proud of, he spoke about your life accomplishments. And especially his wife , who cared and loved my little brother so much. My brother was a very lucky man to have such a great family. My little brother had the worlds biggest heart. God bless you all Sandy, Children and grandchildren, you are all in my prayers. Your family here in California love you all and will miss our David! my brother, uncle and dear friend very much. Please take care of each other and we will always be here for you all. Love the Martinez, Cole, Kupka and Tenorio Family.

SANDI RADFORD
August 25, 2011
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
