Dear David:
Can you hear us? A lot has happended in the year since you were so suddenly taken from the lives of those who loved and cared for you.
Your family will always miss you, your voice, your smile, your jokes. David, you would be proud of your family. They are amazing. Somehow they have found the strength to carry on, but they do so leaving a lasting legacy to you. Because of you David, they help to save other peoples lives. They have enticed many to donate blood and to do so regularly. They are helping to donate to the K-W Hospital fund for the Pediatric Cancer unit in your memory. From their loss, they have reached out to others.
David, you will always be missed but your memory lives on in our hearts. Watch over your family. Protect and love them. Take comfort in knowing that they are very special people and you are a part of that.
We Harrington's are blessed in our friendships.

Dear Ruth Ann & Mary Jane:
I noticed that I had put Mary Jane's name (on the first entry) instead of Ruth Ann. Please forgive my carelessness -- I guess the death & loss of Uncle Howard has affected me. -- I tried to change the Entry, but I didn't know how.
Please accept my sincere apology for my error, and also be assured that you do have my Deepest Sympathy for the Loss of David.
I will keep both of you, and your families in my Prayers. -- The poem from my daughter, Lynette Hahn, was put on Uncle Howard's Funeral Cards. I do hope that it did Comfort You.
Love, Aunt Irene

Although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
to ease the sense of loss
that you have experienced all year.
Hold on to your mrmories
to all the cherished moments
to the blessings and the laughter
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears
They all add up to a treasure
and they keep David
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories in your life
will never change
They will always be in your heart,
today and forever more.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to be so brave in the midst of such a battle. I am proud of all of you and I will stand with you through everything!!!
our thoughts are with you always...
Love Denise, Christopher and Kimberly

Thinking of you as always, you are always on our mind.
We remember David fondly, so caring and so kind.
He was always willing to lend a hand,
A responsible young lad,
How do teens turn out so great?
It's their surroundings, family, Mom & Dad.

Dear Ruth Ann, Bruce, and family
I too have lost a son, and I know the grief you are going through. In time, the pain will not be as great, and you will be able to go on with your lives, as he would want you to.
" I gave you my love, you can only guess, how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and "welcome home".
May God Bless You And Keep You Safe, Irene and Howard's daughter, Lynette

DAVID
Friends and family, we often weep,
Because our David, we could not keep.
You'll always be our friend there never really is an end.
For in our hearts you'll always be
In our minds it's you that we see.
Your voice we still can always hear
It makes us feel that you are still near.
Your journey here on Earth was far too quick, it's hard to believe that you were so sick.
Throughout this time you kept your smile, so brave your were even for the last mile.
Cody, Kasey and Jesse they miss you so, Your friendship meant so much, you know.
Our stories about you we'll always share, because about you we truly care.
About your family you should be so proud, as you watch over them, our guardian angel, from the clouds.

Dear Dan & Jamie
It's hard to believe that a year ago you were laughing,playing, and arguing with David.
You both have done alot of things this year without him to enjoy them with you both. but remember,we're sure that David is watching over you both. He is laughing, playing and even arguing with both of you in everything that you do.
Remember, that you have family and friends that love you and are willing to listen to what you guys are feeling. But also, you have each other to talk to and and cry on each others shoulder. You both know what the other one is feeling.
Remember, Dan and Jamie, it's OK to
cry.
Our thoughts and prayers are with David and all of you.

Dear Bruce and Ruth-Ann
It's hard to believe that a whole year has gone by without David being a part of it.
You have both made it through the first year of firsts. Even though the next years won't be any better,we're sure.
But always remember that Bob and I are alwys a phone call away and just down the street. so if ever the two of you want to talk, do something or just get away, remember we will always be there for you.
It's unbelievable. We can't come close to know how you and Bruce have felt and still feel. But when the death of a friend happens it is amazing how it affects all of us in some little way.
Our thoughts and prayers are with
David and all of you.

David, there may be a billion stars up in the sky, but in Walkerton our family always knows where you are. You are the brighest one looking down on us. It sparkles like the one you always carried in your eyes, it tells us that you are near. We may not hear your voice out loud, but we remember everytime we were all together. There are holes in the floor of heaven and your tears keep pouring down, we know that you are watching as we look up to you from the ground. Please rest in heaven and we love you so much. Ruth Ann and Bruce, Danny and Jamie, your friends will always be there.
Love Maureen and Don

It has almost been a year since David left us. Losing someone we love is always hard, but losing someone so young is so much harder. We always try to look for answers. Maybe that when God takes a child like David away from us, an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself. And
it comes in the way people treat the memory of that child. This is so wonderfully shown by all the family, friends, Teaching staff, neighbours and co-workers of the Reiner Family. The outpouring of support in David's memory is very touching and so real. Just maybe this is God working His Divine Plan within us. *hugs*

Tell Me "Why?"
Please God, tell me why
Friends Have to die.
It's not fair and it's not right.
Oh God, why that night?
I didn't think life could end so fast.
He was so young but his years didn't last.
Now it's to late to say good-bye.
Please God tell me,"why?"
Evenif his soul is flying free,
Now his dreams will never be.
Teens aren't supposed to die.
I need an answer,God. Please tell me "why?"
Maybe life isn't what it seems,
And not all teens get their dreams.
I know we're all meant to someday die,
Still God, I have to ask you, "why?"

Words cannot take away your pain, perhaps they can only allow you to steal a moment in time.
May you find some comfort in the words written by the people who new and loved David.
Some people are meant to touch our lives only briefly but because of them we will never be the same.
David will be remember always by many whos lives he touched.
Thinking of you always.
Love, Mary-Jane, Andrew, Brian & Victoria

David, my Sir Edgar Bauer "star" continues to shine on in my heart. I think of David so often and my heart still grieves....
"In the arms of the angels, far away from here"
"In the arms of the angels, may you find some comfort there"
God bless the Reiner family and may you continue to feel the love and support of the Sir Edgar Bauer School community and those of us who will never forget.

DEALING WITH DEATH
The giver of life
Is olso its terminator.
A fact which humbles us to see
Our lack of control.
The one who gives meaning to life
Leaves us to grapple with apparent
meaninglessness.
A fact which challenges
Our faith in a loving creator.
The source of eternal life
Died a temporal death.
A fact which liberates us
From common distinctions between life and death.
"I am the resurrection and the life,
he who believes in me shall live even though he dies,
and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.
Do you believe this" (John 11:25-26)

I can't even imagine the great loss and sorrow you family must be feeling, I am sure I speak for all of David's classmates at Sir Edgar Bauer school when I say that our prayers are with you. David was a really nice guy we won't forget, I am sure he is now somewhere better watching over your family and friends....Even though it does not feel like it now he will forever be with you and protected now.
Sincerely,
Laura

To hear of a family's loss of a child always brings sorrow. But even more so when it is someone your life has crossed paths with. While at a loss for words, my thoughts are with you all. (Former neighbour from 562B Glen Forrest Blvd.)
