My dear beloved son David, Ty is flying by so fast. I can hardly believe it´s been 14 years my Lord in my God. Only the love of God have gotten me through thus far. I continue to miss you every day, that "time heals all things Not so. I don´t believe I will ever get over the loss of you. It´s only by the grace of God that I have made it thus far and knowing that you died in Christ, therefore we will meet again in glory. I often wonder what you would be doing right now. If you were here, taking your daughter to Disney you and your brother taking your daughters to Disney. I miss you son more than waking up to a breath of fresh air. I miss you son more than having an ice cold glass of water in the desert 120° hot life is going on, and people are going on and I often say Lord by my son, but God knows best and God is still in total control. RIP in the arms of God, my beloved son until we meet in glory. Much love your mom, Lisa.

My dear loving son David, this is the first month of January 2025. This was one of the most devistating months to live through, but by the grace of
God I made it through. I continue to miss you more then life itself.

after 14 years it still hurts as much as it did January 23, 2011. This devistaving J

My dear beloved son David, this January 23, 2025 was celebrated with the burning of a candle in rememberance of your life and legacy. It continues to break my heart knowing that its now been 14 years since you went to live in the presence of the Lord. I continue with my consulation that God gave me that you died in Christ and to be absent from the body and present with the Lord is better. I have so many loving thoughts and memories of you my son and so many continue to share the same sentiments of you. You left this earthly tabanicle too soon but you wll be loved, missed and remembered forever and always.

My dear son, it’s been 13 years and I continue to miss you more than having a tall glass of ice cold glass of water in the desert of 110° Again again that saying of time heals all things is so incorrect. I just continue to take one day at a time and thinking and knowing that your new home is in glory the Lord our God, Jesus Christ. For the Bible says to be absent for the body and present it with the Lord is great game. But my heart being healed from your death is far from the truth.
I am so elated that now I have a grandchild from each of my children. I still don’t get to see your brothers little girl or talk to her as much as I would love to. I am praying that one day very soon. She will start to connect with me and your siblings her family because we do love her.

Your brother Daniel continues to be a miracle. The doctor said he would never walk again, he’s walking with a walker. He still has many challenges, however, from never ever walking again to now walking with a walker is a miracle. They also said more than likely, he will never be able to have children, another miracle, . He has added to our Family a 9 lbs. 1 oz. baby girl. De’lani Dream Nuriyah Callaham.

Many People say she looks like you. Others say she looks like your brother David. She does look like you and your brother when you were babies and some of her pictures favor your sister Davitta.

Also, your nephew Jeffrey just had a baby boy, can you believe that Jeffrey Jr. has a baby boy. His son is about two weeks younger than your brother daughter. I pray that they will become close relatives.

This is the last few days of 2024. I continue to miss you, my son love you and will remember you forever and always RIP my beloved son.

My beloved son the days, months, and years go by so fast, your daughter that you never got to meet in person is growing up so fast. In another year she will be a teenager. I wish you would have lived to see her, to help raise her. I know you would´ve been a phenomenal father, a chip off the block from your father being a phenomenal father. I miss you son, I miss you more than taking a breath of fresh air. I would love you, miss you, remember all the beautiful moments we had together. 21 years was just not enough time
With you. I pray every day that the Lord just give me grace, knowing that we will meet in glory. I know that I will never be able to spend time with you again on this earth, but I think God at least you are with him. And to be absent from the body, and present with the Lord, is great and far more better than this world.
Wanted to let you know that my family gave me a wonderful birthday this year. We ate at the same restaurant that we ate it over 12 years ago for my birthday with you and my oldest brother turned 80 years old this year. Your uncle Jimmy this is a wonderful thing Rest in peace my love.

My beloved son, David, it is so hard to believe that it´s been 13 years since you left this early tabernacle to be with the Lord in your heavenly home. It has not been easy every year day after day feeling the hurt, pain, agony, I feel from losing you.
We celebrated my birthday at the cheesecake factory, just as we did 13 years ago on a cold snowy day, I´ll never forget what a great beautiful time I had with you there. You, your brother Daniel & God brother Eric, had gone walking in the mall and our table became ready. We kept calling you guys on your cell phones but you didn´t answer. Then when you all showed up, I remember my sister Shirley saying you all need to grow up you should not have walked away and taken so long . We missed a table seating . You and Eric looked at each other folded, your arms, like Popeye, the sailor, and said WE WILL NEVER GROW UP! everyone laughed so hard it was so funny. No one could be angry or upset. You were that type of person always made anything negative into a positive atmosphere. It turns out you were helping Daniel find a gift for me because he didn´t feel his card was enough.
No matter how many years go by you will always be loved, missed, remembered forever, and always. The one consolation that soothe my soul is knowing that I will someday see you again in glory. Much love, my beloved son, phenomenal, talented, gifted musician, drummer, son, brother, nephew, friend, young man of God. My beloved son David.

My dear beloved son David, I continue to miss you more than having a tall glass of water in the desert for 3 days in 120 % weather. On May 7, 2023 several of your friends and family members visited Clydes in celebration of your Birthday life and legacy, it was great although some of your friends love you so much they cotinue to live in the past when you all were in your teens.
But your friends still showed up. My love you will always be loved, missed, and remembered, forever and always. Today my son you have one of your mentors, another phenomenal drummer, musician Aaron P. Spears joining you in Heaven. Many wonderful things were said about him and I know they were true. I remember he come to our home and did a drum shead for your 16th Birthday. And then while on tour he did a shout out in honor of your life. I know that you two are sheading away in Heaven. You will both be remembered forever and always.

My brlived son David May 7, 2021 we would have celebrated your 32nd birthday. Its only by the Grace of God that I’ve been able to hold it together for the past 10 years. Time has not healed my broken heart from the loss of you. And on your birthday this year, your brother walked to me without any assistance of a walker. Lousing you was the most horrific, tragic experience in my life & then to be told your brother would never walk again. Its a miricle that on your 32nd birthday God enabled him to take several steps without anytype of mobil assistance. Joy has flooded my soul, spirit & heart. So wish you were here with with a double miricle of you walking, raising your lil girl & pkaying drums. I daily look to Jesus for his Grace & Mercy. I don’t understand why but I know God feels, knows & understands my pain, hurt & sorrow and will continue to love & give peace in the midst of my storm. RIP my belived son until I see you in Glory.

My bruva, I still love you to this day. It’s so painful that it’s become a bitter joy. Everyday is such a painful joy to have known you. I found a drum set the other day on the side of the road, I just had to have it. It sits in my aunt basement collecting dust cause I can’t play worth a damn. Everytime I see it, I just light up! It’s my big bruva. A reminder of who I am and who I struggle to be. Much love and respect to you and yours.

My beloved son, time is going by so fast. It's so hard to believe you have been gone from this earthly house & with the Lord for 6 years now. Next month is always the most difficult month to get through, May, 7, the month & day you were born. The worst thing is the pain of your loss has not subsided, not one bit. I awake each morning anticipating that it will stop but it does not. So I pray my prayer of serenity, Lord help me to accept the things I cannot change..... Because the pain of your loss I can never change. I so wish you were here to help raise that beautiful lil girl God blessed you to leave us with. With you here I am sure we would be able to see & share more of her life growing up. I do thank God for the time I do get to spend with her.

I still miss you more then taking a breath of fresh air. I know that God makes no mistakes but I still ask him from time to time Lord why my son, my David. It always comes back to the same answer, he needed you more, for you were only on loan to me for a season, your work here on earth was complete, you were complete & perfect in every way & when that happens, you must go with your Heavenly Father , our Lord & savior Jesus Christ.

Perfect people of God cannot live in this earthly house. And it's a great honor when God takes a Child of God home with him. So I look to heaven & thank God for the time I had with you on earth and say Lord help me to continue to trust you knowing that God has you & had your best interest & knew what was best for you my son & I will meet with you in Glory one day soon & no more pain will I feel. I will love miss & remember you forever & always my loving son. Rest well until we meet in Glory.❤

My beloved son David this is the last day in this month, February, 28, 2017 which is the day of your sister Davitta's birthday. We had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday but nothing has been the same since you left your earthly body to put on your heavenly body. This month & the past few months have been sad for we have lost many loved one but thanks b to God they will join u & all of us will be together someday soon. Although it's been six years, it still feels like it just happened yesterday. I miss you my loving son as much as taking a breath of fresh air. Continue to rest well my son till we meet in glory soon.

My beloved son, this is the last day of January 2017, which made six years since you left this earthly home to dwell with Christ in your heavenly home. I Just can't agree with the saying time heals all things cause I actually seem to be in more pain each year you are not naturally here with me & so hurt you are not here physically to see your beautiful little girl grow up, your twin, splitting image of you &?she has your gentle spirit & kind personality. Your candle lite vigil was small in number this year but still very nice & memorable. I continue to miss you more then taking a breath of fresh air. I continue to wait to meet you in glory. Love much, your Mom.

My dear beloved son January 23, 2017 will be six years that you left this earthen vessel to put on a robe of glory. Although you are with the Lord which is far more better then here on earth, my natural mind miss you as much as taking a breath of fresh air as I awake each morning. I still feel broken hearted that you had to leave me, the rest of your family , friends & especially that beautiful little girl that you gave us but never got to meet. She is your splitting image, with your temperaments, humble, mild tempered, easy going, loving & kind. I thank God you are resting in the bossum of the Lord but I still wish I had you in my arms to hold again. Rest well my beloved son until I meet you in glory.

My dear beloved son, the Month of July swiftly went by as fast as May and June and its only been by the grace of our God that I have been able to make it these many years enduring the loss of you. Its still as painful as it was the day of your death. I continue to miss you more then taking a breath of fresh air. Soon October will be here and your sister will marry Jason so I shall get another son. It will be good but still my broken heart will never be mended cause nothing could ever replace or repair the loss of you. I do deeply regret that you will not be here in the natural to see your sister marry but I truly thank God that you left us with a beautiful baby girl that looks like your twin except she is a little girl. She is beautiful and and photogenic just as you with a beautiful personality just like you. She continues to lead the path of your legacy and friends like Silk and many others continue to keep your life and legacy alive. I shall forever, love, miss, and remember you forever and always. Love Mom

My dear beloved son, the month of February & March swiftly came & left. We are approaching your 27th birthday May 7th of this year. It's only by the Grace & Mercy of Got that I have been able to get through these few years coupling with the loss of you. There are 365 days in a year, January 2016 makes five years you have been with the Lord, which means you have been gone from us for 1,885 days. I missed you each & every one of those days more then life itself. I miss your smile, your humble warm character & yet wild phenomenal talented gift when you got on the drums. Oh how I miss watching you play those drums. You were my musical gifted child. I often cry when I think of how you would come n after a drum shed or from church or late night dinner with your wreaking crew & lay across my bed & with that deep solum voice share some of how your day went & how you would make me laugh when you would tell me Mom Daniel can't come with me again cause he is crazy. But he went with you again & again. I miss our family movie days & you driving me around like I was miss Daisy. I often think of our last family vacation to VA Beach. You drove all the way there. You were a good driver like your Dad. I continue to feel the pain & void in my life because of your loss. But my hope is built on the trust & word of God that he needed you more and I will see you again. RIP my beloved son & thank you for the legacy you left behind & the beautiful baby girl. Love u so much, gone but never forgotten.

My beloved son David this is the last day of the month of January, the month that I loss you in. It's been five painful, difficult years. My Lord & my God, I still miss u my love more than life itself. The candle light vigil has less people but those that come see the faithful that God intends to come. The longer I am here in this earth the more desire I have to live closer to God so that I can see you in glory with Jesus. I will love , miss & remember you forever & always.

My dear beloved son David, another year gone by, it will be five years January 23, 2016 that you went away to be with the Lord. The holiday seasons makes it that much harder that you are not with us. You loved the holiday seasons. This has been the hardest, most painful, difficult five years of my entire life. The pain of losing you is as horrific as the first day that I got the painful, horrific News. Five years of my life spending time on earth without you, that smile that lit up the entire area that you walked into, your loving, kind, meek, humble generous spirit that you gave from within to everyone you came in contact with and your gifted, talented, awesome, phenomenal musical skills that you gave to the world and You brought such laughter and glee into my life and such a joy to raise as a child makes me miss you so much. I know that you are with the Lord and I truly thank God for taking you into his bosom and I know you are as fearsome on the drums in heaven as you were here on earth, but oh how I still love and miss you so, so, very much. I thank God most of your friends still hang around and they help to keep your legacy alive your family and that beautiful little girl of yours. She is a joy, looks and acts just like you. You may be gone naturally my beloved son but never forgotten, continue to be at peace my son until we meet in Glory.

Time is waiting around for no one, Five years and the pain of lousing you has not subsided. I continue to miss you more than a breath of fresh air. I repeat over and over that God needed you more in heaven then we do here on earth. One thing I thank God for is the beautiful little girl you left us with, I am just so sorry you are not here with us to help raise her. She is a beauty, splitting image of you.

My dear beloved son David:
Time is moving on as swiftly as the waves in the ocean moves. It's been four years, five months and seven days since you left us to go home with the Lord. Still the pain and sorrow of lousing you has not subsided not one bit. Again, my consolation is that God needed and wanted you more then me and all your love ones. I thank God every day for the beautiful legacy you left behind, the beautiful daughter Dai'Jah; she is so amazing and smart, splitting image and characteristics of you and your friends. You are a legend in deed my son. Silk and his crew are making sure your legendary musical skills, talents and gifts will always be remembered. They even mentioned how you were the cause of their yearly drum sheds to Steve Harvey and he mentioned you on the radio and TV. So you my son are truly a legend. But I still miss you so much more then each breath of life I take. Until we meet in Glory my beloved son. I will love, miss, and remember you forever and always. Love you much your Mom

My beloved son David, the month of May has come & gone, it was special because that was the month you were born, May 7, 1989. We celebrated your birthday as usual, at Clydes in China Town. It was wonderful and the usual gang came out, a little less people then in times past but your faithful sister Davitta, her sweetie Jason, your brother Daniel, Eric, Ms. Carolyn, Jamal, Asia, her nephew, & their handsome one year old baby, Justin, Silk, Michelle, your aunt Peggy, your niece Donnita & Nephew Donnie, Adriann & of course, me, your Mom. Clydes treated is like Queens & Kings n your Honor fed us well &,treated us with free deserts. Then came the phenomenal Drum shed, it was a great success, more & more musicians come each year, all in your honor. Your sister Tangie was even here from Florida & attended the shed, we sold several of your Drum Shed Tee-shirts raising funds for your Scholarship Fund. You are truly a legend my son. Silk does not miss a beat keeping your life & legacy alive, he even spoke of you on national TV & the radio when his group the Fix was interviewed on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, how you are the inspiration for the drum Sheds held each year. I love Silk & his family and all your friends that continue to love & support me In keeping your legacy alive. You will be loved, missed & remembered forever & always. Love Mom.

25 March 2015

My beloved son David the month of February came and went and now the month of March is just about over. Time is going by so fast yet the pain, agony and sorrow of lousing you is ongoing and is a painful today as is was four years ago, the day I loss you. Your brother is still trying to deal with your loss as I am, he still does not talk about it. We do often speak of the good times we had while you were with us and how you were such a joy and brought so much joy to all of our lives. I, we, still miss and love you so much, forever and always. I do truly thank God for the beautiful baby girl that you left us with. She is truly a joy just as you were. Although you are not the natural father of her two brothers I know that you loved those boys and treated them as if they were your son's. Therefore, I promise to love and care for them just as you did. My beloved son, your baby girl is something else, laughs at everything just as you did, easy going, smart, loving and kind just as you. May 7, of this year will be four years that you went home to be with the Lord. I am still greatly saddened and I can't help but feel that I got a raw deal when lousing you. However, I must remember in my heart that God is but I continue to believe that God loves and need you as much or more than I or the rest of your loved ones. So I will just think each day how I will eventually see you again. I will Love, miss and remember you forever and always.

January 31, 2015

My dear beloved son David, today, January 31, 2015, is the last day of the month in which you were taken from me, the rest of your family, friends, relatives, neighbors and the entire world. January 23, 2015 made four years of this pain and agony that I continue to feel. Yes I am elated that you are with my God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but it does not change the fact that I miss you so very much, as much as taking a breath of fresh air. Again, my only consolation is that I will see you again on the other side; and that God needed you more then all of us. Your work on earth had ended in the natural but you continue to work with the Lord. I am a living witness that the cliché time heals all things is not true, at least not for me. Not a day has gone by that the though of you not being here with us in the natural, not seeing your smiling face, your easy going, calm, cool spirit, your peace making spirit, your loving, kind ways. I am so proud that God loaned you to me even the short time I had. You will always be loved, remembered and missed, always and forever more. I held the semi annual memorial scholarship fundraiser in your honor. Not nearly as many showed up as they did in years past. I believe it's because we had a bad weather forecast. However, the weather ended up not being as bad as the forecast. But I thank God for the faithful crew that never let me down. They have a genuine, undying love for you and with this crew; your legacy will live on forevermore. Thanks be to God there are also faithful friends of yours and mine that gave on line directly to the scholarship. You are a great, musician and God needed you for his heavenly host of musicians. Your legacy will never fade because you are a true legend and legends never die. Until we meet on the other side my beloved son. My love, Mom

David, my beloved son, the time is coming around again, that season that I used to love so much. First Thanksgiving, you loved to do your part in cleaning the house, shampooing the carpet. No one could shampoo the carpet like you or clean the house. Out of all of us, with the exception of your father, you were the best house cleaner, taking that after your father. Your sisters and I did well but out of everyone you were the best. That's because you put your heart and soul into any and everything you did and enjoyed doing. Why you liked to clean the carpet I do not know but I was glad you enjoyed it and did it so well. That carpet cleaner stays in the closet because no one knew how to really use it but you. You and your brother could even cook a little. But, we girls did have that hat in the bag. Your Dad is an excellent cook and I know you boys were taking right after him. Thanksgiving has never been the same without your presence. Your brother Daniel still does his part of grading the cheese. Can you imagine, even with his disability he can still grad that cheese the best. We had a talk today, he miss you sooooooooo much. My heart is broken because he hurts as much as I do. I can't answer his questions as to why God took you from us so soon, I continue to ask the same question. My only consolation is that we will see you again in Glory and most importantly, God needs you at this time more than we do. I don't like saying it but it has to be true. There is no other reason on earth or the universe that God would have taken you so soon and left us with this pain, sorrow, hurt and void spot in our lives. You have a different job, now, a heavenly one. One thing I can say, your beautiful daughter brings light and joy into our hearts, the splitting image of you and has your good attributes. I thank God for the time I did have with you on this earth and thank God for the many, many lives you touched in such a positive way. It gives my heart joy when I see how friends are still honoring and posting good things about you on this legacy page. I thank God for the Fulton families for making this page a life time memorial of you. I am getting a little full right now because I continue to miss you more than each breath of air I take. RIP my beloved son until we meet in Glory.

David,
It took me a while to get over the fact that your gone. I couldn't sleep the first month. It was crazy. I had a dream about you a while back and you were telling me in detail what had happened to you. It felt so real David. I had the best experience meeting you. Remember the time i saw you and Danny at the shell because i had the hugest crush on you i kept refusing to come out and hug you and Danny kept telling me to. Do you know about a month later you were taken away. I was angry at God for a while because i never understood why the Bad is kept on earth but the good are gone. I always think about you and i feel for your mom because now that i have a son of my own i couldn't imagine losing him. I still remember Worldview days. Well I always read these comments and wondered why i haven't wrote one yet.Then it hit me i had to be mentally ready to. I will always have love for you in my heart.

My beloved son, this is the last day of August 2014. We celebrated your beautiful little girls birthday and her bro Lue. Not having you here in the flesh to watch her grow up is most difficult but we continue to take oneday at a time, trusting and depending on God to see us through. It was beautiful seeing her eyes light up as she rode the pony. God kept the rain back, it was a beautiful day, the only thing missing was your natural presence. Your daughter is the splitting image of you. God has given us a part of you to continue your legacy. Missing and loving you more than a breath of fresh air, however, continuing to remember that God needed you more in heaven with him than down here on earth. Till we meet in glory my beloved son, I shall continue to take one day at a time. Your Mom

My dearly beloved son here we are the last day of July 2014, 3 ½ years since you went to glory to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus and I still miss you more than a breath of fresh air. I am not the only one; your families at Allen still love and miss you so much. That brother of yours Eric J. Collins did a beautiful, wonderful act of kindness. The Voices of Praise, your old choir that you played for honored you at the 30th anniversary. They sang their hearts out and they had a good drummer but my son, you know you are still #1. They presented me and your brother Daniel with the most beautiful plaque I have ever seen. Several of your bosom buddies of the choir presented the plaque, while speaking of quality attributes you possessed and how much they miss and will always miss you. Taylor B, Kristin B, Jamal D, Carolyn Keys, and a few others that I am so sorry that I cant remember their last names. Lil Aaron may have been up there but not sure. It was beautiful, Eric set it up but he was so full he could hardly say anything. Lots of his family came out to support. You know they loved you like a son just as I love Eric. I wanted so much to make a speech but just could not hold my tears back, those of joy that so many people continue to love you and determined to keep your life and legacy alive and tears of sadness that you are no longer here with us in the natural. I call upon Jesus still asking My Lord and My God, Why!!! Jesus, Why! I still do not understand why. But the pain continues to feel as though a sharp digger is constantly being plunged into my heart. But, I must continue to trust in the Lord that he needed your more and has a better plan for you. I continue to look unto the hills from which cometh my help and wait to see you in Glory. Continue to rest in peace my beloved son. Your Mom, Lisa Callaham

My beloved son David, the month of June has come to an end, how time is passing by so fast & still, I continue to miss you more than each breath of air I breath. We went back to Florida & stayed at the resort we visited when you were a young boy. It was nice but just not the same without you. No family vacations are as much fun or like it use to be when you were here. I miss you my son so very much & look forward to seeing you in glory. I am elated every time I have your beautiful daughter, a joy just as you were as a child, through the limited time I had with you doing your adult hood. It hurts to see how much your nephews, Donnie & Jeff miss you, your niece Donnita your sisters Tangie, Davitta & Nisha & brother Jeff & of course your Dad & your walking buddies. You are always in our conversations, thoughts, mind, & heart. We will love, miss & remember you forever & always. RIP my beloved son till we meet again. Love Mom

David, my beloved son the month of May is just about out. This is always a very difficult month because I miss celebrating your birthday with you. I can hardly believe as of May 7, 2014, you turned 25 years old. My God how I miss you, that smile, you coming in the house lying across my bed telling me about the drum sheds or what funny thing Daniel did when you all went out to eat. I just miss you so much; you were such a joy in my life. May started off busy. My son you are truly a legend. Your buddies did not forget you, again, a Drum Shed was held in your honor. That Silk, Jeremy, and James are unbelievable and Nisha gates too. And you know the old Faithfull's Eric and Justin and Ms. Carolyn are always supportive of the Drum Sheds. Ms, Carolyn, that sister is some type of Energizer Bunny. Recently having a kidney transplant but that did not stop her from coming out to support your legacy. Taylor was there in spirit, school had her this year. And we had the honor of having your college roommate Marcus this year. It was a pleasure having him; he stayed at the house with us. More and more musicians are showing up each year and the audience is larger and larger as well. This year was greater then ever. We combined the David R. Callaham Scholarship Fund raiser in with the Drum Shed. The TEE-Shirts fund raiser went well. I am looking forward to Nisha designing Tee-Shirts every year. And, as usual, Chic-fe-a in Brandywine and Malcolm, the owner of the Domino's in Marlton are always great supporters of your scholarship fund. Theresa Vargas of the Washington Post never responded to my request to do a follow up on your life and legacy but the truth is in the pudding. My son you are so greatly loved, musicians from different cities and states come year after year to display their gifts and talents all because of you, and people of all different ages come in support. I meet new musicians every year that have such great things to say about you. Some have told me you inspired them to start playing again, some to start for the first time and how you are teaching some how to play by watching your videos; how more awesome can you be. You even inspire your younger brother to have a relentless spirit to walk and fulfill items you had on your bucket list. You have left a legacy behind twofold, your talented musical gifts and the daughter that never got to know you in the natural but knows she has a great young gifted father. And on May 7th some of your faithful crew all celebrated your birthday at your favorite restaurant, Clyde's, Darnisha and her co-workers, Michael & her hubby, Adrianne, Eric, Justin, Ms. Carolyn, Daniel, Donnita, Marcus, Silk, Toussaint and of course me. You have truly left a legacy behind, in deed you are a legend and legends never die. With much love my son, I am so proud of whom you were and the legacy you have left,m y beloved son

David,

Man house I miss your jokes and more importantly hearing you play the drums. Living directly behind you and coming home from school or work and hearing you practice was always a joy. As long as I have Geremy around to play the drums, I'll always be able to hear you play. You would think that year by year it gets easier to cope, but it's not. I still remember what you told me when my grandmother passed, "As long as you continue to carry her in your heart, she will never leave you! Talk to her just as if she's here, shut up, & listen, you'll hear her talking back to you!" I take that and in turn I also talk to you. It's never about the time not spent but about the time that was spent. I am forever grateful for being able to say that not only was we neighbors and classmates but we were friends. You'll forever be in my heart!!!

Your presence is missed on earth
Your family loves you so much. We will never forget your love of drumming ,your smile and genuine humor is remembered.
Everything you did to make people laugh when folks were real serious
Reminds us of God's Grace and how much He loves all of us to enjoy living here and rejoice with people and know there is a life after this life.

My dear beloved son David, whom ever started the cliché time heals all things should change it to “Time can heal many things. But, to say time heals all things I cannot agree and I know this for a fact. It's been just shy of three years and my heart is as heavy as it was the minute I was told I loss you. Lousing you has been the most horrific thing that has happened and any thing that could happen in the future. My son, I still miss you more than each breath of life I take. One consolation I have is that I know you were only on loan to me for a season and that I will see you again. I thank God for the legacy you left behind for many to follow and I thank God for the beautiful baby girl that you brought into this world. God is bringing comfort and joy to my heart each moment I spend with your baby girl. She has many of your same beautiful, loving attributes of kindness, thoughtfulness, sharing and giving, positive attitude, always smiling. Although you never got to see her in the natural, I know you are looking down on her and all of us, waiting for us to join you and our Lord and savior Christ Jesus. I love you son and will miss you forever and always.

My dear beloved son David: Jan 23, 2014 made 3 years that you have been gone but not forgotten because legend's such as you never die, missed in the natural but u will never die from our hearts. I love & miss you more than life itself. I often ask God why did he have to take you so soon. I know you belong to him & you were only on loan to me. But it hurts so much not having you here with us in the flesh. Then It come to me again how awesome, gifted, talented, loving, generous, kind, friendly & goodly looking which reminds me that God had a work for you to do in heaven with him. Then, it brings a peace to my heart in knowing that you are so important & special to our almighty God that he took you to be by his side, to work for him.

Who am I to argue with God. I know he loves you as much as I do. So I will continue to look to God & thank him for the wonderful child he gave me that grew into a handsome, gifted, talented young man that touched his mothers life & made me so very proud, that kept a smile on my face. Also for the thousands of lives you touched in a positive way that you came in contact with while here on earth & the thousands you continue to impact in a positive way, even while you preside with our Heavenly Father. The candle lite vigil & scholarship fundraiser did a little better this year than last. A big thank you to Chick-Fe-A & dominos for supplying food, two or your favorite eating places. You r still touching lives.

I am anticipating seeing you in Glory working for The Lord. RIP my son until we meet in Glory. Love your Mom Lisa.

P.S. I thank the Family above that recently posted a message to you. You are so loved & missed by all.

Hello David I think about you all the time I miss seeing that smile of your and your jokes. Tanisha has your name tatted on her arm. We talk about you and how much we miss you. We wish you were still here with us. But we know God needed his angel back. I know your look down on all of us who loved you so much. Continue to Rest In Peace. We love you and will never forget you. You will alway be in our hearts and mind forever.

I am still trying to keep it together but I sure do miss you. Thank God you left a beautiful daughter behind for us to look at and remember your beautiful smile because she smiles just like you. I am praying that the scholarship fund started in your honor will take off this year in helping another youth or young adult advance in their career or reach their career goals as you desired to do. I love you son and will talk to you again very soon. I will love, miss and remember you forever and always. Your Mom Lisa

David, my beloved son, It's been a little while since I visited this page, and I am still missing you more than each breath of life I take. I can hardly believe it's been two years since I lost you my dear son. Each day is hard for me not having you here with us my sweet son, especially the holidays, but by far, January and May are the most difficult because I lost you in January, five days after my birthday, and then May 7 which is your birthday. But trust me, I will never let your legacy die and neither will the rest of your family and friends. The yearly candle light visual and your birthday celebration, the Boston article that your friend Marcus was spot lighted in, commenting about how you were his inspiration to further his career in the music area of drums/percussions, and the drum shed your friends give in your honor each year for your birthday is proof of that. This year the drum shed was packed again with drummers and musicians from a number of different states and it was still packed and musicians coming in after two pm. David, my love, you were and still are an inspiration to so many people. You have touched so many, many lives and will continue to do so with the Scholarship we started in your name, The David Callaham Memorial Scholarship Fund. Your birthday kick off of with a fund raiser started off slow but I know by faith that it's going to pick up. We will further your dreams and career goals by helping another youth fulfill his or her dreams with an education in the music industry at Berklee where you attended or help them financially with their music career. I know this was your dream and gold but God wanted you to finish up with him in Heaven so I cannot argue with that. David, I just pray that you really knew how very proud I have always been of you. You were a blessing to rise as a child until the day you passed. You were never disrespect, rude, or selfish, always so humble, kind, and peaceful, cool, calm and collective. You were my peace maker child. People keep saying I need to get on with my life. They do not realize my kids are my life and a part of my life has been taken away from me, you, and it's difficult to move on when such a precious part of your life has been taken away. But then I remember that you were only on loan to me for a while from God. I am just so sorry God did not allow you to remain with me and the family longer than 21 years. But again, he needed and wanted you more so I cannot argue with that. Take care my son and RIP until we meet again and I can see that beautiful smile that light up every room and place you entered.
Love, forever and always Your Mom Lisa McElroy-Callaham

Every time i look up i think of you. Every car ride i take im thinking of you. Every quiet moment, im thinking about you. Im thankful that you left us with a beautiful baby girl remember you by. Your death has impacted so many diffrent people in so many diffrent ways. Times are hard knowing that im never going to see you again. I Know god is taking good care of you and your up there enjoying heaven but i miss you and i need you and i want you here i know i sound selfish but it's hard not having you around. EVERYTHING has changed, since you left. We smile less, laugh less and cry more. You used to keep the tears away, you used to keep the smiles big, and the laughs loud. Even knowing that your in a better place still doesent make me feel better i miss you, i miss being able to call you for any and everything, i miss being able to laugh with you, i miss being able to hug you, i miss all our good times and adventures. I will NEVER Forget the time when i got the bug on me at church and yhaa locked me out of the car, and you cracked your window and screamed "NITTA BUG" ! then vitta donnie and daniel all joined in. I was so mad cause yhaa where laughing and i was still trynn get the bug off me. But thats how i got the nick name "Nitta Bug" i will never forget that day. We had some good crazy times. I remember when me and donnie used to wake up earlyer than everybody so we would go to your room first and lift your eyelids then we would go to daniels room and do the same thing. Lol yhaa would be so Mad at us. Christmas was the worst cause me and donnie would wake up around 7 in the morning jumping on yhaa beds trynna get yhaa up so we could open our gifts. Lol, Good times. You always had my back. Any thing I needed you where always there. Whenever i got a boyfriend you and Daniel would Go off talking bout yha was gonn beat him. You where the person i called if somebody was messing with me. Now i have Nobody. Cause NOBODY had my back like you. I feel like our family is incomplete. My happiness Died with you. I miss you so much Dave. REST IN PEACE.

David, my beloved son, I am so sorry I missed an entry in February. The days are going by so fast. However, not a day goes by that I am not still in constant anguish and pain because I miss you so much. I know it would help bring comfort if I could see and spend more time with your beautiful baby girl. I am still not able to see her as much as I want and need to. I wish so much that you were here to see her grow up. I know I would see her all the time. Your brother is coming along well. However, he still miss you so much. For the first time in a year, he was able to visit his bedroom and yours. He sat quietly in your room for a good two hours and took a good nap. It's so painful to watch him in pain about lousing you. He still will not talk about the accident. He only mentions how much fun you all had. He and your best friends and buddies often talk about how much fun you were and some of the crazy things you all did. In everyone's conversation the words always ring out how you were a great guy, kind, compassionate, loving, generous, and caring and one great attribute, patient. Your friends still keep Daniel busy and occupied. Christen Sumner is the friend that built up his confidence, encouraging and assisting him to walk up the stairs. It's hard to keep him from upstairs. You had such a great positive impact on your friends that they continue to take care of your little brother. When God created you, it was marvelous in his sight. I only wish that he had given me more time with you here on earth. Today we will celebrate your sister Davitta's 24th Birthday and your best friend Justin's 23rd birthday. My God I miss your presence. You have so many that love you that they all continue to hang around our home, always visiting your bedroom. Not a day goes by that you are not talked about among your family and friends. My beloved son I love you more than life itself. RIP my beloved until we meet in heaven. Love much your Mom

My beloved son, your candle light vigil on Sunday January 22, 2012 turned out beautiful. The number of people that showed up again, confirmed that you are an amazing person. My son I am so proud of you. You touched the lives of so many people in a positive way that family and friends always show up in great numbers whenever we mention that we are having something in your honor. The over 900 family and friends that showed up at your funeral was awesome and displayed the love people had for you. Now, a year later, family, and friends again showed up in great numbers at the candle light vigil in memory of you. My beautiful son, it's so difficult living without you in the natural. I wish every day of my life that I could turn back time. When you died, a part of me died as well. There is an emptiness in my heart, a void that I continue to ask God everyday to please help me to accept the things I cannot change, and to please give me peace. I love and miss you so much. The family, relatives and friends that you have and your beautiful baby girl along with the love and mercy of God help me to make it each day. I pray that I will be able to start and continue a good scholarship fund in your and your brother's name. I promise as long as I have strength in my body to keep your life and legacy alive. I love you my son with every breath I take, I will love you forever and always.

Dear Family, Friends, and neighbors:
To all of you that visit's David's Washington Post page, thank you for your love, support and prayers throughout this year. I pray that you will continue to support me in keeping the memory and legacy of my beloved son David alive. Next Sunday January 22, will be the anniversary of the automobile incident that took the natural life of my beloved son David and the physical life of my younger son Daniel. Therefore, family members, relatives, friends, associates and all those that want to share in keeping the memory and legacy of David alive, please join me in a candle light vigil on behalf of David on Sunday January 22, 2012 at my home, 9602 Mount Laurel Court, Upper Marlboro, MD at 4:00pm for celebration and actual lighting of candle a 6:00pm. If you cannot join us physically, wherever you are, please stop and burn a candle in remembrance of David Rufus Callaham, a loving, kind, gentle, giving of himself, loyal, awesome, talented, gifted musician, and God fearing young man of God. I think the Washington Post for running this post page and especially Ms. Robin Fulton and Family for setting this life time page up on behalf of David and his Family. We will always be thankful for your continual prayers, love and support for Daniel, David's younger brother and our entire family. This is a very difficult month for me and my family. However, with the grace of God and the love and support of loving family and friends such as you all, I know we will make it. In loving memory of you my beloved son, we will always love you now and forever. Love Mom

Hello my beloved son. It is so hard to believe that this is the last day of December 2011 and next month will be a year that you have been taken away from me. I am not angry with God, just still disappointed that he allowed this horrific incident to occur in my life. But I know that it has only been by his grace that I have made it this far. This Christmas was very difficult being without you. But that beautiful baby girl of yours brought joy and gladness to my heart. I will continue to love you and cherish the good times we had together. Every day was a good day with you. I love you my beloved son. Talk to you in the New Year. I truly thank Robin for creating this page. She has been a blessing in my life. I am asking God to please bless me in this New Year so that I can be a financial and spiritual blessing to her and many of my friends and your friends that have been so good to us.

Love your Mom

Hello David
Lord Jesus, I'm sorry I could not get to your homegoing, I still cannot believe all of this. My mind goes back to the birthday parties sister Lisa and I had for you, boo (Shawn) and Davitta. We went alot of places when you all were young. I remember when we all went to Kings Dominion one summer, and Sister Lisa put you and Daniel on a ride and a bee started flying around you and you almost tore that whole ride up trying to get away from that bee, lol! I don't blame you! I will see you again young man.

Oh my I cant beleive that its been 10 months and it does still hurt like it was yesterday as I sit here right now just looking at the pictures the one that really is bringing tears to my eyes is the one of you looking through the clouds, I know that your spirit is still here, just yesterday Justin and I were talking about you. I miss that smiling face of yours and that voice of yours coming in here while digging in the candy jar or grabing something and saying hey Ma! or telling me something that Justin had done you were always telling on him!! I know that our lives will never ever be the same without you but we are trying everyday to cope, I love you like a son and will never let your memory die

Hello my beloved son David, October 23, 2011 made 10 months since you left us. I continue to miss you more than each breath I take. I continue to pray each morning I wake up that I am having a bad nightmare and I am going to wake up one day. I continue to ask God to help me get through this pain because it still hurts just as bad the day this horrific incident happened. I cannot get it out of my head that you are gone, that you will never be back. As I sat on the couch tonight and Daniel sitting adjacent from me, I think of our movie nights, how we had so much fun just watching movies, laughing, your cell phone would ring and we would say get off the phone. Then the house phone would ring and you and Daniel would tell me to get off the phone. Gosh, I miss those days. I do thank God that Daniel is progressing well. He is not so angry about being in a wheelchair. He makes the best of it and he is determined to walk. I also thank God for that beautiful baby girl you and Kia made. She is the splitting image of you. She is beautiful. It brought so much laughter to my heart when I saw a picture of her in a costume of a strawberry. It was so strange that I use to eat lots of strawberries when I was pregnant with you. You have a mark on your foot that looks like a strawberry. In one of your infant baby pictures some relatives and friends would say that you looked like a strawberry. She is soooooooooooopretty. I am so sorry you are not here in the natural to raise her. I know she would be as rotten as can be. But do not worry, between Kia, her mother, me, your Dad, your sisters and brother, Aunts and Uncles, we will spoil her to no end. Until we meet again my beloved son, RIP
Love your Mom
Lisa
P.S. your Aunt Peggy is good at putting the pictures on this page. I will have to ask her to put a picture of Dai'Jah on this page.

My beloved son just as RECKO feels I too feel the same way. And she is a best friend to you. I thank God that you have friends like RECKO, she and several others have and are a true blessing to me, and Daniel. It’s been eight months but I still look for you to come through the front door. Sometimes I set on your bed and wait for you to come in and set and talk to me. Sometimes I look in your room and expect to see you lying across your bed listening to your music on the laptop. I miss you more than a breath of life. I am elated that you left a legacy behind and that of a beautiful baby girl. She is the splitting image of you. She even has body jesters like you. She is so smart; it’s almost as if you are here in her spirit. She even holds her fingers as if to hold drum sticks. I just pray that I am I am given the chance to be a part of her life. I love you son and will forever hold in my heart the time God gave you to me on earth. Love Mom

Hello my beloved son. It’s very close to seven months since you left me and the pain is still here as if it were the day of the most horrific event in my life. I am sorry sweetheart, I know you want me to move on and live but I just cannot take that step yet. I even joined a prayer line and it helps but I am still sick to my stomach each morning that I awake and do not hear your sweet voice or that big smile or hear you playing your drums. All I can do is cry to Jesus to help me get through each day one day at a time. RIP my beloved son until I meet you in glory for there is no rest for me here on this earth while you are not here to share life with me and the rest of your siblings. It is much too hard for me to let go. I am happy that I have your walking buddies and other close friends. David you really have some good friends. Between them, your siblings, our neighbors and my family members and friends that constantly encourage me and your younger brother Daniel, with their continual love they express to me and the grace of God, it’s the only thing that helps me make it through each day. Justin’s Mom is a jewel. I thank God that she and her spouse created this lifetime legacy book. She too continues to share the pain of my loss of you. David, there are some things going on in the world that I am glad you do not have to go through. I love you my beloved son with each breath I take. Your Mom Lisa

My beloved son I continue to ask God each day to please ease the pain of my loss of you. I miss you so much. Its so hard to accept that you are gone. Just know that I love you and miss you so much. Just wish I could see that beautiful smile, hear your voice and hear you play those drums. My heart is broken and I need God to immediately fix it. Its so hard living without you, you brought so much happiness in my life from the time you were born up to the day you passed. I have always been so proud of you. Till we meet, my beloved son. your Mom Lisa

Hey David,
Didn't even know that this existed til today, and seeing all the love that you are still getting shows me how much you were truly loved. It's still are to accept the fact that you are no longer here in the flesh. But I do know that you are here in spirit. I know I said that I wouldn't cry, but you know I'm emotional. I keep your flowers with me, one in my car and one on my dresser. It's funny cause every time someone gets in my car they say "You need to throw that dead flower away!" I always reply back that as long as I have that flower, I know that DAVID is always with me! Miss you much kiddo!!! Keep rocking in God's band. Til we meet again!!!! Besos!!!

My beloved Son, just sitting and thinking about how much I love and miss you. I keep running into people that talk about what a nice person you are and how you touched their lives in such a positive way. Robin Fulton, thank you so much again and again for putting this page on for life. You are a true blessing to me and my family. I love you. There are not enough words in the world to express my gratitude for the kindness, love and sympathy.

I also want to think each and every person that has expressed your love towards David, how much he touched your life. Your expressions of love make my heart glad. Mericcka, you are a jewel and you continue to keep your promise. I love you and may God continue to bless you for being a blessing to Daniel and me. David is watching over and I know he is elated that he has a friend like you.

David I know you know by now that Eric & Justin are your best friends. They look after your lil Bro. Daniel and your Mom. Thank you my son for being the person you are. You attracted good friends because you are a positive loving magnet. Love, your Mom Lisa

My beloved son, I do not visit this page as often as I want to or should. Its just so very hard. Its been six months since you left us and the pain has not gotten any better. I still miss you more then ever. I pray every minute of the day for God to please help me because I can not seem to shake your death. I cannot let go. The only joy I get is watching your brother get stronger each day. Everything he does he say he is doing it in your memory. The doctors said your brother Daniel would most likely never walk again. Daniel is determined to prove them wrong by the help of God. Your buddies are still hanging in there, keeping your memory alive. I love you my love RIP your Mom Lisa

Happy Blessed 22nd Birthday my beloved son. So sorry I am just writing this. We had a full day on your Birthday. I miss you more than life itself. I have not visited this page in a while. It’s not because I have forgotten about you, God in heaven knows there is no way that can happen. In fact, I think about you every moment of the day. I compress tears of pain back day after day, minute after minute and second after second. I never want your brother Daniel to know how much pain I am in over lousing you and seeing him struggle to deal with his new life. I wish so much that you were still here with us in the natural. Celebrating your birthday at Clyde’s was painful that you were not there in person but it was nice because it was a place that you loved to go. They really love you there. They gave us your signature wings, complimentary. I loved the DW drum cake Kia had made for you. It was delicious. I wish I had gone with you when you were living. You tried to make me come so many times. I had made up in my mind that I was going there with you this year for your 22nd birthday. I am so sorry you were only present in the spirit and not in the natural flesh. I just pray that God will comfort me in my pain of him taking you so early from me. Each day seems harder and harder. Every drum beat I here makes me sad because I wish you were here still playing the drums. I missed you so much this Mother’s Day. Tangie, Davitta and Daniel gave me a mother’s Day fit for a queen. But I still miss one of my young Prince, you my beloved son David. I miss your gorgeous smile, your laughter, your calm, cool, collective ways, your silliness, crazy jokes, the way you dress and smell. You were such a joy to my life. I miss the way you would just come and massage my feet. I miss the way you say Mar or sometimes Mom, I just miss hearing your voice, I miss you tickling me, and I miss our movie nights out. I will miss going to the Universal Soul Circus. I keep your room the same way you left it because I want to remember just how well groomed you kept yourself. Your room keeps your odor of the favorite cologne you wore. I cannot write anymore tonight because I feel pressed out of measure tears. I miss you my beloved son. Oh, your boys Eric and Justin are hanging in there taking care of me. Not only me, but Kia and Donnita. They act like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in a scene from Bad Boys when it comes to Donnita. I love those guys; they bring smiles and laughter to my soul. You chose two good friends. Also your crazy sister Tangie and Tanisha make me smile a lot. Davitta and I R cry babies, but her strength helps me. You know your sister is a trooper. She does so well with your brother. Big brother Jeff does not do badly, he mainly laughs at them. Davitta and Daniel sure do love you getting Tattoo’s of you. You know I love you so much but you know my beliefs in tattoo. Can you believe I had Tee Shirts made in your honor, visited your grave site and went to Clyde’s and your favorite movie theater all in one day. Well my beloved son, it’s almost 5:00am and I am almost cried out. I still await the next part of your life that I get to hold and cherish. With much love looking forward to seeing you in Glory, Love Mom Lisa.
