Angie, Emile & Kadie, Al, Donna &
The entire Ondrus Family & Friends –

Our thoughts and prayers – The Myers Family – Greg, Brenda, Holly & Logan (Oregon, OH)

In Memory of Dave

Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walk in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.

There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something - -
something much better than words or sounds.

Look for me in the people I’ve known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart,
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,by embracing them and living in their love.

Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that’s left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.

We were saddened to hear about the loss of Dave. We have many memories. Those memories include his way of telling a humorous story or a one-liner that captured a specific moment. My brother spoke of playing together on a softball league with great fondness. Our prayers to all of you.

No words can express
The hurt and anguish
Nor touch on how we feel
God shares our tears
And gives us His love
And He, in time, will heal

The hopes and the dreams
We had just remains
Like an unfinished book of their life
As an incomplete chapter
Remains unfinished
With nothing more to write

But we can know God’s comfort
And know there is hope
With a new chapter to begin
We can hold on to God
For He loves us so much
And fills the void within

As we close one chapter
Another can begin
Though the one we love has gone
Through Christ’s strength in us
And hope in our hearts
We find courage to carry on

My deepest heartfelt sympanthies to you Angie and to you Uncle Al and Aunt Donna and to all the rest of the Ondrus family and extended family.

He is up with my mom and dad now...we have angels who will watch over us always.

Love you all,

July 27, 2010

Angie,

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. We all enjoyed seeing Dave in the office, Dr. and I especially liked talking Harleys with him, he was so proud of your accomplishments in that area!! Thoughts and prayers are with you-

Dear Angie & girls, I knew Dave from high school, saw him again when I took care of Angie when she was expecting the girls, and then ran into you all through Clay events. The girls I knew while my time as Clay's nurse. Even knew sister Linda and Kim. Seems I kept bumping into him all these years. He always had a hello and a smile for me. I will miss that. Love to you all.

Dave was one of the nicest men I ever had the honor of working with when I was in the office at Delaware. He talked about his family often. Good men are very few these days and this is a great loss for all who knew him. May GOD heal your hearts quickly over his passing and please accept my deepest sympathy.

My condolences to Angie and the entire Ondrus family. I used to sometimes see Angie at Owens Community College. Angie and the other Ondrus "kids" were in my classes at Clay High School. A few years ago I recall seeing Amy and Pete at the Franklin Park Mall and we had a long conversation and they met my wife Jan. Linda and I taught together at Clay and the last time I saw her was at a retirement party held for Clay teacher Herman Dunwald the spring of 2001. Again, our sympathies are extended to the Ondrus family.
