Hey Uncle,
It has been 3 years and I am still just as heartbroken as that day. We all miss you and think of you more than often. I still can't sit in the church and not come to tears and have flash backs. But I just wanted to let you know that I am still missing you dearly. Love you always

My Dear Sweet Dave:
You are still so loved and missed. It's hard to put into words the joy you gave to me. I will always remember our last talk and laughter. Boy did we laugh! What a wonderful day that was. I am comforted in knowing that you now have comfort and joy with our Father. You will forever remain in my heart.

Dave,
It has been two years since you passed away and my heart still hurts as if I just got the news today. You and I have been through so much together and I am so grateful to God that we both found him in our hearts. No one would of thought that this would happen and your death has given me the strength to go forward as I know you would have. I miss you so much, our talks, laughing cause you were so silly like me. That's what we use to say two peas in a pot. I thank God for sharing such a beautiful human being like you in my life because you brighten up my life and still do. When I think of you everything else I'm going through doesn't matter. Until we meet again brother I love you always and forever.

Hey Dave--This is your cousin Beck'-you never put the 'y' in my name and that became special to me. I thank God I lived to witness your spiritual conversion. That was such a special moment for me. I enjoyed our talks and the questions you had. I miss you so much but my faith and trust in God helps me accept what He has allowed. I'm just so glad that you didn't check out before you had somewhere to check in! I love you and I am looking forward to seeing you again. To God Be The Glory!!

When I found out that you were gone Big Dave I just couldn't believe it. It had been years since I saw or talked to you and yet hearing of your passing hit me just like I was with you the day before. You were always smiling no matter what and had something funny to say. You will be missed and I pray that I will meet you again someday.

To the Burts Family,
Little did I know upon opening this e-mail link that I would find this shocking news. After moving from Alexandria, cousins were far apart. I am sorry that my only memories of you were the time that I spent with aunt Margie while I was in college many years ago and you fell in love with my roommate Ophelia. Rest in the Lord my dear cousin.

Dave,

I still can't believe you are not here. I know we had our differences but you were one person I could not stay mad at long. During our rides to the basketball games we got a chance to really connect with each other. I found myself looking forward to you walking through the door in the evenings because I knew you had something funny to say. I miss you more than I ever thought I would. Dave, you were a good person with a good heart. We will meet again.

Love You!!!
Your Baby Sister

Dave,
I am so glad you found the Lord. Your life has become a true testimony to Tanisha. She has saved every card you have ever sent her and she still has the flowers from the day you went to be with the Lord.
I remind her she will see you again and that you are living it up! You thought you partied hard before..You will always have a special place in our hearts.

My dear, dear Dave; my cousin, my friend. My heart simply aches over the lost of you. You left me with memories that will last my lifetime. The afternoon we spent together will always be with me. As I told you then, I say again now, I don't know how not to love you, even now. You are now with the Father whom I know is taking good care of you for us.

Your cousin,

Dear Bro, I miss you very much, days and nights are very long. I miss your smile and us being together but above all I miss our good conversations and good times. I'm always reminisceing about us and the good times we had will be with me for a life time.
Love, your brother, Darvil.

Nephew, Words cannot express the hurt I felt the day I got the call. No one could have told me that I would never see you walk thru that front gate smiling at me again. I loved you then and always will. I miss you, but I know that you are in the arms of GOD.

Love you always,

Dave, Little did I know that Wednesday afternoon when you laid at my feet would be our last conversation, but GOD took you home, it was his will, but in our hearts we love you still. Your memory is as Dear today as in the hour you passed away. We often sit and think of you when we are all alone, For memory is the only friend that grief can call its own.

You are and always will be in our thoughts.

Love forever, MA and DADDY

If my love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. I love and miss you so much! I am so very thankful for the time we spent together driving to the Smokey Mountains the month you passed away. Although that time spent together gave me closure, I still miss you my brother.

Sometimes it is hard to believe that my friend is not physically here because I miss him so much, I have comfort in knowing that he is safe at home with the Lord and his spirit lives on thru our son and our grandchildren. I still want to question sometimes why, but I keep my eyes on Jesus and know that I will see him again someday. Marge, Eggie, Kendra, Karen,and Thea continue look at Jesus and allow him to hold you in his loving arms. We will all be together again. Love you all

Hey Dave, this took me a while but hey you know me, late as usual.

Little did we know that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone,
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories.
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.

We all truly miss you.

Love always your little sister.
