David Goldstein Obituary

21, Of Parkland, Florida formerly of Sharon, MA passed away October 1, 2005 in Hollywood, Florida. Beloved son of Brooke & Mark Goldstein. Loving and caring brother of Gregg Goldstein. David also leaves grandparents Marilyn & Sidney Felton, Maxine & Arnold Henkin both of Hollywood, FL, and Sandy & Harold Goldstein of Greensboro, North Carolina; aunts & uncles Candy & Jim Norton, Cathy and Gary Goldstein, Leslie & Joe Merslich all living in South Florida.

McNab Road, TAMARAC, 954-721-2500. Burial Services will follow at Lakeside Memorial Cemetery on NW 25th Street in Miami.

Dear Brooke, Mark & Gregg:

Our prayers are with all of you today and everyday. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think of David and how much we miss him. Today when Joey and I were sitting outside there was a butterfly flying around us and I knew it was David letting us know he is around us spreading his love. Just know David will always be in our hearts.

Love,

Dear Brooke, Mark and Gregg,

Our family misses you in Sharon. We were so stunned and saddened by David's passing away from his long battle. Even though we know Gregg the best, David was always warm and inviting to my children and they considered him their friend, too.

Brooke, you are the strongest woman I know. I cannot begin the imagine what you and your family have gone through. But you are moving forward and living your lives with David in your hearts forever.

We miss you all.

Dear Brooke, Mark and Gregg:
When I was little, my Dad used to tell me that when it rained hard it was because God was crying. It is pouring here, today, in New York. I do believe it is a sign of the sadness we all feel. David is greatly missed by all who knew him everyday. Our thoughts are with you, and him, today and everyday. We love you ... Lori, Lance, Jamie and Brittany

Dear Brooke, Mark and Gregg,
With this past week being Rosh Hashana, it gave time to reflect on this past year and all that our family has had to endure. Not a day goes by that I do not think of David. Whenever I see a butterfly, I know that it is David spreading his wings and his everlasting love. David's life was cut way too short, but I have truly never known anyone with his spirit. We love you all so much. May this new year bring you renewed strength, good health and much love. You are a very special family and we feel blessed to be a part of it. All our love, Val, Jeff, Niki, Ryan & Jake

Brooke, Mark & Gregg-

The large turnout for David's funeral was a tribute to you and your family and for David's courage and fight over the years. I am glad I was able to be with you all and that your family "adopted me" so genuinely.

I think the quote I got from KC and his wife today, says it all:

"Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest

Lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up."--Thoreau

David will never be forgotten and will always be a part of Chris' tourney.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you as you struggle to regain your equilibrium.

Love

Brooke, Mark & Gregg, I feel so sad to hear of my cousin's passing when I barely knew him at all. I have heard what an amazing young man he was and my last memory of him was at my wedding, I am so thankful to have that. Gregg, we live way too close to each other to ever have an excuse to not know each other, that will change. I love you all and will be visiting soon.

Dear Brooke and Mark - I was so saddened to hear that David had passed away. Sorry I can't be there with you all today. I'm glad we were able to share some time in New York in May. I know David wasn't feeling well then but it was great that he was able to participate and enjoy being with family.



What wonderful memories you will have. You both and Gregg have been blessed to have David with you for a short 21 years and how blessed he was to have you two for parents and a loving brother too.



I know that nothing will ever lessen the pain but hope that having such a wonderful family nearby will soothe the soul.



Please come visit us in Colorado when you get time. It's a place to just renew your spirit.

What a truly special young man he was. I will always remember his electric smile and great moves on the dance floor. He meant so much to our entire family. You guys will always be in our hearts and prayers. Love always, Joseph, Michelle, Julia and Joey Strull.

It's Monday morning & my heart and mind are still with you in Florida. I'm so happy that I was able to be with all of you (especially David) all day on Friday. All of you have always been so special to me and I love you. I don't have to tell you how special David was because you know how special he was and that's just the truth.
