The places you went and the destinations unmet
The love that we shared and will never forget
The laughter, the tears, the joy and the pain
We smile and grieve at the sunshine and rain
For you left us too soon, and our hearts ache within
And dream of the days that just might have been…
David - father, son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend
We'll love you and miss you, ‘til we see you again.
