Hey David,
Well it's hard to belive that you've been our guardian angel for almost a year now. You've done a great job looking after all of us. We continue to keep your memory alive with "Remember when David" everytime we get together. You are still larger than life every day in our hearts and our thoughts. The tears I shed are filled with love that embrace the life you lived and continue in memory. I love you David.

David,

Now its been almost a year since you left us. I miss you so much, i still talk about you all the time and dream of you often. I keep your picture on my fridge and Madison often asks where you are, since the day i told her that you were her Uncle Dave, and she asks where you live and i told her that you live with the angles and that your watching over her every day, she says she misses you, even though i know she dosent remember you, which breaks my heart, since i know you loved her so much and you would have had so much fun together, she would have been crazy about you, i know it. Well I just want you to know you are missed greatly, i think about you often and hope your watching over us. We love you!

David
Lots of thoughts about you over the past couple of weeks. I am glad we spent the last 3 years getting closer, hanging out on the deck at Campy's, around Ellis Haven and just shooting the breeze. We put on a fireworks show for you at camp, had a cocktail and celebrated your birthday with your dad. Each day will be easier as time goes by but we'll never be the same and you will be missed.

My friend! You came to visit nearly everyday and I enjoyed every minute we spent together, talking, laughing, debating. You are so loved by so many and will be sorely missed. My two girls adored you and looked forward to "Cousin David time" and of course the cotton candy ice cream that you gave them before dinner! When people asked me if I was going to try for a boy, I would point to you and say, I have one! I am honored to have been a part of your life and will cherish our memories together! May you now know eternal peace and happiness, my good friend.

Davey, I miss you soooooo much and I cannot believe you were taken away from us so suddenly. I am really angry with the world right now. I wish there was something I could have done to change this path in life you were forced to take. We used to talk about how crazy this life was and I never would have ever expected this to happen. I will never forget the last thing you said to me and I promise I will always remember you for that. You made a huge impact in my life and I will never forget you. David I hope to god you are happy and if your not...find a way to let me know cause I'll do something about it. This life I live now is for you, I pray for you every morning and every night and I hope one day I will be able to see you again! I can't wait to see your face darling. Miss you more than you will ever know. Love Always- Heres to being pretty!
