I am so sorry to learn of cousin David's passing. I remember visiting Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Wayne in the 1970's and David always came over. David was my mother's first cousin and I remember how much my mom always admired him. He was a very kind person. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Death Is Nothing At All

By Henry Scott-HollandMore Henry Scott-Holland

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.

All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

David and I shared so many good times during our early professional years. He was always a joy to be around. He served the community in so many ways and touched so many lives in a positive way. He will be truly missed. My prayers are with you Pam and all the family and friends.

Pam and family:
I grew up on the same block as David and his parents on Jones Blvd. He was the "cool" high school and college guy to us growing up. In later years he was a great professional and personal mentor to my daughter. He met the church Elder distinction! I pray for comfort during your time of great personal loss.

Pam and family, Cindy and I were so sorry to hear of David's passing. David was a wonderful person. He never met a stranger and always had a kind word for all. Rejoice in the fact he is with the Lord and will suffer no more.

Pam and family, I believe if you looked up "gentleman" in the dictionary, David's picture would be there. I am so sad to learn of his passing. May God wrap His arms around you and yours, and bring you peace.
