To Patricia my heart goes out to you and your children. I know it will be hard, because I was blessed to know you and David. And the love that you and David had was of one that don't come often. I wish I could come and comfort you but due to ...you know what I mean I can't. But never forget that I am thinking of you and the children, and that I Love you. I would also like to say: David was only loaned to us for just a little while and God decided to come and get his son and take him home with him. You are going to miss him, but remember you will see him again. Until then David will always be with you in your heart and spirit. David is probly saying this words to you and your family.
I Am With You Always

To those I love and those who love me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
You have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, youcan only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But no it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

May God Bless You and Keep You.
