I keep a piece of you in my heart so you can share with me. Ryan is growing like a week almost taller than Eric, he is so much like you. I got a new boy Lane Adam, Tell Adam I will always love him best. Till I see you again I'll love you my whole life, Mrs. Annie K. Wilfer

Uncle David, We all miss you so much. It still is so hard for us. Little Bird will just cry sometimes and when I ask her why, she says because she misses you. I don't think the lose we all feel will ever get easier. When people say time heals, they are just wrong.

Hi My Love, I still think about you all the time, I may not write as much but you are with me everywhere I go, How proud you would be of your sons and how well they play football, I feel so cheated you are not here to see everything with me. Almost done with nursing school. I know you will be with me as I graduate. I'll love you my whole life. Love Mrs. David G. Wilfer

Uncle David, I think you know what I'm here to write about. Becuase I believe with my whole heart that you were there when we were in the accident. And the only reason we didn't die is because you keep me and lil bird and jamie and jayden safe....there is no other reason why we went thru 3 lanes of traffic on a busy freeway oh a holiday weekend without hitting any other car or anything else....I love you Uncle David

Dear little brother,

I know your anniversary is tomorrow. I will always remember why you chose that date. You figured it was the only one you wouldn't forget since you were a Marine. I still think about you every day. I miss your beautiful smile and your gorgeous eyes. I have to tell you that Robbie is just as ornry to his niece and nephew as you were. He said he had a good teacher. I really miss your teasing, as does everyone.

I love ya

Karen

Dear David, Its been awhile since I've wrote in this, Its not because we havent thought of you. We love and miss you soooooooo much. We made our trip to Calif, it was very nice, sad and good at the same time, it was weird being in your house without you. It's already football season, We had parent night the other night. Gary and Cindy and Vicky came out, that was so nice of them. Eric just said please not to cry mom, I did not. It was hard but I did it. I start my third qtr of school next week, cant believe i've made it this far. They got our stone out the other day. Its beautiful(as beautiful as a stone can be) Everyone says you would be proud. Ryans first game is Sunday, Hes a real go getter this year on defense. I'll love you my whole life David. Love, Mrs. David G. Wilfer

Annie Wilfer

May 13, 2006

My Dearest David, I still miss you so much it hurts. You are on my mind all the time. Its just still so weird without you. I went and got our headstone the other day, How tough was that? I hope it will make you proud. The veterans also gave us a wonderful bronze plate to put on the back of the stone. Its so hard to see that,it just doesnt seem real. The boys are both doing well in ball. Its just not fair you are not here to enjoy them. Adam will still look for you if I say Papa. We all miss you so much. I know Great Grandma is with you now also, When Gary told me, my first thought was, Im Jealous, shes gets to see my david. But, I want to raise our boys. Today is my moms Birthday, Please tell her we love her and miss her too.

I'll Love you my whole life.

Mrs. David G. Wilfer

Your sons.. Eric and Ryan

Your Dogs.. Adam and Arwen

Love Donna

Annie Wilfer

March 18, 2006

Dear David, I can't believe you have been gone 4 months. In my grief class I go to, They say God surronds you in like a fog just so you can get through. I just go through the motions. Our lives are so empty without you. Im getting ready to go to Gettysburg. It hurts because I know how much you loved it. I know you would want me to go on and do my dogshow but it sure hurts. I know I will cry, I have such mixed feelings about going to Calif. Just doesnt seem fair and I know I will cry. I start school next Monday, I need your support. Eric starts baseball already, How I wish you could see him catch, Hes starting to look more and more like a man everyday, It saddens me because I dont want to ever let him go. Ryan is still so sweet and reminds me of you always thinking of me.

You know someone called me the other day, A friend but all I Could think of was "this is not my David and its just not right"

I know I could NEVER find another like you. I miss you so much.

I"ll Love you my Whole Life

Love, Mrs. David G. Wilfer

I hope he growns up to be like you.



We love you so very much!

Shonda Brice

February 18, 2006

Dear Uncle David,



Hardly a day goes by that I don't think about you. I look up at the night sky and I see falling stars all the time and it makes me think of what Aunt Karen said. I know you're ok and in a much better place. I know this will sound silly but each time I see one of those falling stars I say hello to you. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch as often as I should have when you were here with us. One thing I have certainly learned from losing you is just how important it is to let your family know how much you love them. My heart still hurts for Annie and the boys. I pray that the Lord gives them strength to get through the difficult times.

I love and miss you. You will never be forgotten.

Love,

Shonda

Dear David,

I don't think there is ever a day goes by that I don't think of you. I know everyone feels like that. I hope eventually that we will get back to normal. You know how I would call you and Donna and Linda all the time, I just can't bring myself to do it because I think of you.. I will try because I know you would want me to. I love and miss you sooooooooooo much little brother.

love ya

Dear David, My Heart still aches for you. I wonder if this void will ever go away? I m sure it will not until we are together again. Watching our sons grow up, they look so much like you and will do some of the things you would do. They miss you so much also. I feel so sorry for them.

I passed my college entrance exams, I know how bad you wanted me to do this. Thank you for always taking care of us and putting us first. We love and

miss you so much.

Love, Annie, Eric, Ryan, and your dogs, Adam and Arwen

Boy, how we miss you but we know that you're in a far better place now. Thanks for all your kindess, love, and humor. The trips to Ohio are not the same now. One thing that stands out to my family and me, is that you never complained about anything. You were such a great husband and father to your family. I know how proud Annie, Eric, and Ryan are to have had you in their lives. We'll never forget all the good times.

Love,

Mark, Sue, Jeremy, Josh, and Rachel



P.S. Could you take some of this snow for us?

David is missed by so many. He was loved by more people than he realized. He is a man that deserved every friend he had and every ounce of respect he was given. David was a terrific role model to his kids and to other's kids. David was an awesome father and husband. There aren't enough "David's" in our world. For that reason we continue to grieve for such a tremendous loss. God bless David's family.

Uncle David,

What a wonderful blessing you were to so many lives. It seems so unfair that you were taken away from us prematurely but it's comforting to know that you touched so many people. I have many wonderful memories of you. Whenever I think of you I see your big beautiful smile. We miss you dearly and there is such an emptiness in our hearts. I love you and am thankful for the time that you were with us.

Love,

your little munchkin, Shonda

You were, and always will be, a wonderful husband, father, brother, son, uncle, godfather, and friend. We miss you but we know where you are, and that you are healthy. Every night Chase starts out his prayer with 'Tell Uncle Dave I love him and miss him'. One day we will see you again, but until then, help watch over all of us, and keep us safe.

With much love,
