Dear David,

Can't seem to get you off my mind since your passing. My heart weighs heavy for you. I hope your journey to heaven was peaceful, joyous, and as wonderful as anyone could imagine. I hope you have eternal peace. I believe something was missing from your life, I hope you find it in heaven. We had a lot a good times and disappointments, but, the one thing we did right together is having our daughter Rebecca. May you rest in peace in the arms of the Lord forever.

Dear Rebecca,



I understand the pain of losing a dad. God the Father sent His only Son Jesus to die for us on Calvary; but HE rose again to give us hope of eternal life.



I pray your dad is at peace in Jesus arms. The Lord knows your sadness and your dad's as well. He has counted every tear all have ever shed. There are no more tears now only peace and joy. May God bless you and the Holy Spirit comfort now and forever.



Love Peter

Uncle Dave was a great guy. I'm both distressed and sorry for the loss. If there is anything you need, let me know. He is in a MUCH HAPPIER PLACE NOW. I'm sure he's loving it. Best Wishes.
