Not sure what to say?

I walked away that morning, without a backward glance,
I didn't know that moment was going to be our last.
The last time I would hold you or see your lovely face,
The last time I would kiss you and feel your strong embrace.


So solid and so real,so vibrant and alive,
A happy face with twinkling eyes, my fine young man, my child.
My first-born son, my David, the apple of my eye,
so cruelly taken from me, I never said goodbye.


The shattered remnant of my...

David you are one of the greatest gifts that God has ever blessed me with. God gave me 29 years with you that I will cherish forever. We laughed together, cried together, and shared more than most people ever get to share with another person. I love you more than I could ever put into words. God called you home and now I have to carry on without you by my side, but I carry you in my heart and that will never be taken from me because love is forever. You are with Jesus now and I rest knowing...

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I am sure your wondering who I am. I remember helping David a couple of years back at time in his life when he needed healthcare.

One of my hearts has flown away,to be with the Lord above. On the day God took him home,I sent with him my love. His voice I will not hear today,or in the days to come. But I know my boy is always kept safe,in God's amazing love.

Dear Deb & Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Try to stay strong. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

My dearest brother,
Who made me laugh so hard every time I seen you, I will remember those times. You are in a better place now, where there is no more pain,sorrow or sin. You were such an awesome brother,son,uncle and friend. Your nephews and nieces loved you so very much and they are going to miss you so much, as is everyone here on this temporary place we call earth. I am now asking you, up in heaven to help guide everyone down here. You are going to be missed until we see you...

So very sorry for all of your loss, words or anything can not mend or replace what you had. Remember the memories, and stay strong.
Love from - Rick, Kim and Lylah

I love you all and I will continue to pray for all of you!!!
