There is such a large part of me and my heart that cannot believe u have left so many of us behind. The thought of ur loss is no less painful and disbelieving today than the day I heard. There are so many unanswered questions and grief but may the lord bring all who loved u comfort and understanding with peace and time. I'm sure your the most handsome angel you've seen :)

Gilmer family, I think of you all every day & hope that God will somehow comfort & surround you with His love. As a mother, my heart aches for you. This has got to be the most difficult pain a parent can endure. My prayer is that God, family & friends will somehow ease some of that pain just by knowing we love & care about you.

Dearest David,
You will be deeply missed, you were always a joy to be around so sweet and polite and witty. I will especially remember the fun we had at Di's 21st birthday and more recently enjoying a family dinner with you & your mom & dad just a week before you left us. The memories are to many to list but they will keep me smiling whenever I think of you until we meet again, RIP Dear Sweet David!!! Love, Susan

I believe what is remembered most when a familiar soul departs from us is not so much the memories but the way their presence made you feel when they were around you. David ... we will miss the light and joy you brought with you when you walked in a room. We will miss your quick wit, your smile and mostly ... the way you made us feel when you were around. Love and comfort to the Gilmer family. May God wrap you in His grace and comfort you through this trying time.
....

I got to know The Gilmer Family about the same tim Their Son was born, We both had Kids who in the early eighties played with each other and We adults would Picnic together, or go camping, Davis was about a Year older than My Daugter & My Son was about a year older than Davids Sister Di, I remember those fun times as We watched Our Kids in those first Years of their lives. The Gilmers Were great parents and as With us Family was Always First. I cannot express My Sadness and convey the proper right words to say @ this time, But I will start with Look to the Lord & close Friends & Family to Help You through these Next Few Weeks, I know that it is not enough but it is a begining through Something that Is very painful.
Without Family & Friends & our Lord It would be imposible to go through. He is at Peace & Pain Free, and He is not alone, And We will see Him again In Gods Kingdom. If You need anything Please let Me Know. He will be Missed. God Bless The Gilmer Family @ this Time. Your in My prayers, Doug Goddard
