You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in you love
And not feel you rain...

David,
Words do not express the sorrow I know you must be feeling at this time. Please remember your family has many friends that care very much about them. You and your love ones are in my thoughts and prayers, as is your son, that you loved very much.

David,

You were my friend, my computer tech, my phone listener, the funniest person I knew, my grandchildren's father and my son.
I can not imagine what you have been going thru although I have been there supporting you because that's what fathers do.
Your sons, David and Matthew are being so strong, they are good boys and have been supporting me these last few days.

I will do what you asked and will always keep you in my heart.
I will miss you every time I can't get something to work which seems to be everyday lately. I love you with all of my heart.

Dad.
