Look how much our Pumpkin has grown since you went to heaven
He 15, 6' tall and wears a size 12 shoe! It will be 8 years this Christmas Day that you left us. Bubby was just 7 he's driving now I have a chauffeur next November he gets to take his actual driver's license test.
I'm still single and like I said I have no intentions of remarrying.
I'm fine with being a widow until Jesus comes.
Until we meet again missing you Always!! Love, me and Bubby!!

Hello sweetheart its January 22nd 2018 . You are still missed each and every day. So many things that you spoke of you are so right. I tell you all the time I get it! You are very very wise man. I want you back here with us even though I know that you are in heaven. There will never be another you.. you were one of a kind. Men like you don't exist these days. I miss you I love you always will. Even though we had our bad times we had many more Good Times. I draw from you each day and the Lord to keep my sanity and to keep motivated. I have not remarried and don't plan on it. You will never be replaced. Pumpkin misses you dearly he dreams of you often all good dreams. I know that you visit him in his dreams because I know how much you love him. We cry often together missing you. We also laugh together thinking of the Good Times. Until we meet again you're always on my mind and in my heart.

I was sorry to learn of Dave's passing. I always enjoyed working around/with Dave. I regret not being able to visit at the funeral home, duty prevented my attendance. Something I am sure Dave would understand. My condolences to the family.

Dearest Sweet-loving and BEAUTIFUL Aunt Diana,
words are just not enough to tell you how heartbroken and sorry I am for you, our entire family and especially the entire Chewing family.
Uncle Dave and Aunt Diana were a beautiful GOD fearing-loving couple in their 30 year marriage.Aunt Diane is a beautiful example of what a dedicated wife is, right to the very end as she did. When I think of love and beauty, I think of my beautiful Aunt Diana and Uncle Dave and how much dedication they had for each other right to the very end. I am just heartsick over his loss, there will never be a man like Uncle Dave who could possibly fill his shoes! Aunt Diana, I love you with all my heart and always will. Mick, Michelle, Donald and Jeff, I know how close you were to Uncle Dave and how much all 4 of you and all of your children ( my cousins ) included. Grandpa and Grandma's house was the best place in the world. That home was full of love and will always be until all of us go home to Jesus !
Uncle Dave, as the tears flow from my face as I remember all the good times our family had and all the sad times we have had. As a Niece of yours, I love you very much and will hurt for a long time to come. You were one of the best role models I had as a young lady. I know you are with Jesus now but I can not tell you how much Aunt Dianna is going to miss you, grieve for you and how much she is going to need us to surround her in our love. Please watch over her, dry her tears and hold her tight in through Jesus! I love you Uncle Dave and Aunt Diane, if you need anything please let me know. I know you are going to need a lot of help, love and comfort and I am more than willing to come home home to do what ever I can for you. May God be with you Aunt Dianna. I love and adore you so much!
Until We All Meet Again, you will be loved and missed not forgotten !

Dianna, I am so sorry to hear about Dave. I am friends with Kristi on Facebook & just happened to see the post showing his obit. He was a wonderful man & the two of you were an amazing couple. The whole time you lived next door you were always together(if I saw one of you, the other was right beside) you were a true example of what marriage is supposed to be. You were a team. I can't imagine how hard this is for you but I know you have so many beautiful memories to help you through the rough times. Please know that I am always here if you want to stop by and talk.
