Oh Dave, can’t stop thinking of you tonight! We had 11 inches of snow since yesterday and IDOT was just on the news with the snow plowing. Those are the trucks you worked on! Brings such sadness to my heart.. just makes me so sick thinking your no longer here where we could see you and hug you!! I just don’t understand what happened that night.. I wish so badly you would have stayed home that day!
Our lives will never be the same!!! You should be here for Emma to call you Papa I know your holding her right now as she is unborn, she’s with you and the family and I know you will be continuously watching over each of us. I wish I could talk to you, I miss you so much!

I stumbled upon this thinking of something to say as I sit in your house.. but because of the man you were its home for Bailey, Tricia, Jamie, and Brenna. Its home because you made it home it takes a special love to make a house a home. I hear so much about you and definitely wish I wouldve got to meet you. But there is one thing I can promise your presence is always felt here and they all miss you like crazy. Im sure one day we will meet but until then just know Tricia and the girls will be looked after and always protected and loved its the least I can do to try and help fill the shoes you left here.. this might be weird but its the only way I could think of reaching out and finally introduce myself rest easy up there and keep being the girls guidance and ear when they need you

But you have to watch over everyone and I know you already do but your going to be a Grandpa!! You already know and will be spending time with him/her for several months yet!
I love you and wish you were still with us however, with all thats going on in this world you would have been so upset and you would have worried!

Hi my sweet Dave, hope your enjoying heaven. Please remember to visit tricia for her birthday tomorrow. She loves your visits so much. We all love you so much and miss you beyond words! Im still working on healing this leg/knee but its almost 9 months and still in a brace and partial weight baring. Saw chiropractor today to see if she could help with all the neck pain from the walker. Im falling apart and whenever God is ready for me Ill be ready too! One day we will all be together again! Gods plan is the only plan! I just wish His plan still had you here with us!!
Life changes in a blink of an eye! So very sad!
My heart hurts every day for you and our families! They say time heals.. I think thats a joke!

Hi there Dave.. thinking and missing you! Some days I still dont believe this!!! Right now its one of those times!! Please watch over the Girls? All of them!! And the Boys too.. I know your nearby I feel your presence and wonder what your thinking about what happened to me. I still dont know how it happened. Its already over 2 months and still not walking! But Ill get there!!! Slow and steady wins the race right? Im so afraid tho. Its like Im getting flashbacks of that day! Please ask Chuck to talk to Bobbi and make her fight to get out of that hospital and heal? She always talked to him and would laugh.
Give everyone a hug please and tell God (although I have several times) I say Thank You, for all Hes done and yet to do?
In the name of Jesus ❤Amen
Love you to the Heavens and Back ❤

Good Morning Dave and Family, Im having a night where Im awake and praying for everyone. So many people suffering... from pain and illness, physically, emotionally, spiritually etc. I ask Jesus to place His healing hand upon each and everyone in their suffering to ease their pain, hurts, discomforts etc., and bring peace, love and most of the trust needed to bring You into their hearts! With that trust we all have Peace!
Hope your still watching over everyone, like everyone says.. your angels in heaven are watching over us!
Well sweetheart I need to get some rest.
I love you to the Heavens and Back ❤

Hi Davie❤I know you dont like that but too bad.. LOL
My walker is being delivered today. Im pretty sleepy for some reason. You had us laughing yesterday!!! Did you hear Dad talking to you lol??
Im coming along, healing really well but, I have a long road to go. Probably a couple more months. Thursday is going to be a month for my accident and Friday a month for the surgery! I still cant fathom how this all happened! But it did and I will keep on keeping on!!!
Love and miss all of you!!
