Memories and Condolences
for David Hays
August 13, 2010
DECEMBER 5TH, 1953 WAS THE FIRST DATE I HAD WITH DAVID. WE WENT ON TO MARRY AND HAVE A FAMILY THROUGH THE YEARS. HE WAS A GOOD FATHER AND HUSBAND. NO ONE HAS EVER KNOW YOU THE WAY I DID. WE WERE YOUNG AND HAPPY ENJOYING LIFE FOR MANY YEARS. PEOPLE DO CHANGE AND GO ON TO DO OTHER THINGS. YOU HAVE LEFT THIS LIFE WAY TO EARLY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A LONGER TIME. I AM SORRY YOU DID NOT ENJOY YOUR GOLDEN YEARS. YOU HAD JUST ARRIVED THERE WHEN YOUR LIFE TOOK ANOTHER TURN.
THERE ARE REASONS FOR EVERYTHING AND I DO HOPE YOU ARE FINDING SOME ANSWERS

HEY DAVE, GUESS WHAT, EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I STILL HAVE MANY MEMORIES AND PICTURES OF US AS A LOVING COUPLE AND FAMILY. GOING BACK TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL PROMS AND PARTIES WITH FRIENDS. YOU WERE THE LIFE OF THE PARTIES. I STILL HAVE THE CARDS YOU SENT TO ME AFTER EACH ONE OF OUR CHILDREN WERE BORN. TRACY, 1962, LORI, 63, BONNIE 65 AND JENNY 69. ALSO TWO OTHER LITTLE ONES THAT NEVER MADE IT. YEARS WENT BY AND THE GIRLS GREW UP AND NOW HAVE CHILDREN OF THEIR OWN. LIFE DOES GO ON, SADLY YOUR LIFE HAS TAKEN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. I AM SURE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THAT MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS. WE HAVE THE MOST MOMORIES WITH YOU THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE.

WHEN I FIRST MET DAVE HE WAS JUST 17 YEARS OLD. WE WERE GOING TO WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. HE WAS PRETTY DARN HANDSOME IN HIS NAVAL RESERVE UNIFORM AND DRIVING THE 1953 MERCURY HARDTOP CONVERTIABLE HIS MOM HAD JUST BOUGHT. MANY GREAT MEMORIES WITH HIS MOM, OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN BORN THROUGH THE MANY YEARS SPENT TOGETHER. DAVE BELONGED TO THE MASONS, THE TOWN OF BROOKFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WAS PART OWNER OF THE 3 D LODGE. ALOT OF FUN DURING THOSE YEARS. LOVED HIS BOAT ON LAKE MICHIGAN AND GETTING UP MANY EARLY SATURDAY MORNINGS HEADING OUT TO CATCH THE BIG ONES. THINGS WERE VERY GOOD DURING THOSE YEARS. FOUR DAUGHTERS, SIX GRANDCHILDREN AND ONE NEW LITTLE GREAT GRANDAUGHTER HE HAS LEFT HERE WITH FEW MEMORIES. DAVE ALWAYS HAD A SPECIAL WINK THAT I KNEW WHAT IT MEANT. GOODBYES ARE VERY HARD BUT WE DO GO ON. THAT IS PART OF LIFE.
