Well my Davey, its been 13 years since you left me/us here to "carry on". Although many memories fade as the years pass, all I need to do is hear or listen to one of the many songs that remind me of you. There are so many & when I play a CD (yes I am old school & still play CD's) it is if u are right next to me in the room. I feel I get transported back to 1996 or even 2006 & it brings a smile to my face & a tear to my eyes, simultaneously. How my life would be different if u were still here with me. I miss you so & will always love you. You were my soul mate & will be forever. I am grateful for the 16+ years we had together. Miss u my doll. I hope u & all the basset hounds are running around heaven having fun. Give my brother & dad & Jeff & Ted my love always & forever

Hope you were there for Gertrude when she "crossed the bridge". I need more signs my love...

Linda Lou & Family
This was such a shock to hear, after all you have endured in Ted & Jeff deaths prior. We may be sad, just know that your loved ones loved you and they are with you all the time.
There was a post it note Tim my brother "Murph" left for me on the bathroom mirror while he lived with me a short time before he died, it said "Things will look up, if you look up" I believe that. Here he was trying to comfort me while dealing with depression. He did'nt know quite what to do, then he did just what I needed to see. I will always remember Ted, David & Jeff they were always smiling.
I find comfort in knowing that they are together now, after 11 years after Tim has passed, he is with my dad too. I'd like for them to celebrate us home, when we go to heaven.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I thank you Linda Lou for our friendship forever & ever.
P.S. I Love You! We are getting together soon to begin a new chapter to include our brothers, a memorial project. A work of love, to make "Chiefs Purses" & a line of fabulous purses that Linda got the idea from a purse she bought for .25 cents recently, at a garage sale.
Rest in peace Ted, Tim, Jeff & David. "We will look up!"
Much love, Kathy Murphy Overland park, Kansas

Ted, Dave, and I were the best of friends. We played ball and did everything under the sun together while growing up in Brookside. I will always have a special place in my heart for the Wisemans because they are like family to me.
I am truly sorry for your loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My heart goes out to Marian and Dean in the loss of another beloved son, and to David's siblings for the loss of their cherished brother. We are not without hope as this Easter season reminds us, and can eagerly await the coming heavenly reunion for us all in that place where there is no more tears or pain, sickness or sorrow... In the meantime my son Aaron and I will hold you all closely in our hearts in prayer.

I was lucky enough to attend many Royals games with Dave & Ted the year we won the World Series and I will always cherish those memories. We had a lot of fun that year. Rest in peace my friend. Say hello to Ted & Jeff for me. God Bless

My heart goes out to this family and the loss of your sons and brothers. I grew up with Dave and have the fondest memories of him and all of us playing in the park down the street from our houses. I still live fairly close to the old neighborhood and when I drive by I can almost re-live those wonderful days. Dave was an avid sportsmen and he could smack a baseball right out of Edgevale park. He had wonderful skills in football as well. He could spiral a ball straight up into the air and stay in the same spot and catch it. I have never seen anyone do that since Dave and feel that was his magic alone.
He was one of the sweetest guys I know and I was happy to have caught up with him a few years ago and re-capped on our lives. I haven't talked to him since and am sad to hear of his passing but I know I will see my dear friend again one day. Dave is looking down from the stands in the sky with a baseball glove on ready to catch a foul ball. He and Ted were nearly inseparable when they were kids and I'll just bet they are sitting in those stands together with their big brother Jeff. Again to his family my sympathy goes out to you and I hope you can find peace in knowing that Dave is with his brothers.

Dear Deanne and all of David's extended family and friends,
Our prayers are with you. May this Easter season be a reminder of the cycle of life and the miracle of rebirth. Please know that David is at peace with Ted and Jeff. Your friends in Early Childhood

David was always a true friend. When ever I saw him, he was always helping someone out with whatever he could do. He will be greatly missed until we see him again. God Bless your family

Eyes that would light up a room every time he walked in, a kindness that was like no other! You will be missed my friend. My heart goes out to the Wiseman family and all of us who will feel his loss. This is not goodbye my friend...this is only until we meet again!!!

I had just met David the Friday before his death. My heart goes out to those whom were close to him. He had a smile on his face the entire time. I'm very sorry and my prayers are with his friends and family.
