The funeral is over and we have all gone our separate ways, but somehow I can't stop thinking about all the things David stood for. He always had a word, if he was kinda down before we got off the phone, there would be big laughs and something he or I said to encourage each other. David helped mold and shape me into the woman I am today and I can't forget.I truley loved David, I know he is gone to be with Lord, and even if he could he would not come back to this earth.

DAVID, YOU ARE GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Such a "heavy heart" I have, that such a "wonderful person" has departed. Although the time we shared was shorten, your wisdom, kindness and infectious humor will live on in my spirit. In "honor" of you, today, tomorrow and forever, I wear a necklace with two hearts, the top one is mine, the one underneath represents yours, the "backdrop" for "love and trust"

I pray for strength and guidance for your family from the Master and that He, Himself, Keep You in "Perfect Peace".

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. David was truly an inspiration in the lives of individuals that he came in contact with. He will truly be missed, but he is rejoicing in a better place and in the midst of telling everyone that "A Good Man Is Hard To Find", but one has truly made it into the pearly gates.

To the family of David Payton,
The earthly spirit of your loved one may have departed; but he leaves a literary legacy that made us think,hope, cry,and laugh at life. He was able to take the simple everyday situations and forced us to look into the mirror and see ourselves. Gone too soon but not soon forgotten.
