It's been 12 years since your deathand we still miss you as much as ever -

TO MY LOVING HUSBAND

Years and years have passed on by
Since God took you away
But all those years left many hearts
With memories of your way
Your unending love for family
Your generous gift of time
Spent nurturing our children
A husband so sublime
We never will forget you
We love you oh so much
Until we're all together
Together for all time

Happy Birthday Dave! Wish we all could be together to celebrate, but I know Jeff, the rest of my family and yours are doing so. There hasn't been a day since you died that I don't think about you. Going back to Chicago next week and I'm anxious to see the rest of the family. Time is slipping by so fast--the grandkids are growing--and I am getting older. Please know that I pray for everyone each day. Love and Kisses (I love you---more!)

Dave--Hope you are looking over our son Jeff. I'm sure you are. I know you always said that you never wanted to bury one of your own, but I had to. I miss both of you so much and think about you every day. I don't think I can take any more sadness so be sure to tell God not to take anyone else in our family before me. Please pray for me. Luv you . . . . . . more. Jeanne

Happy Father's Day----you father!! We all miss you terribly. I feel so alone without you. Our 50th wedding anniversary is coming up soon. Wish we could celebrate it together--our so-called "Golden Years." Hope you and the others are celebrating father's day together. My Dad, Bud, Jim and all my relatives--especially Mom. I miss all of you and the fun we used to have. I pray for you every day. Please pray for me. Luv you all--love u more, Dave. Jeanne

Dad. I had a dream about you tonight. It felt like you were there with me. I wish that I could have just one more day with you here. I wish we could talk about the things we used to everyday. I wish that you could meet Jullian. He is everything that I ever wanted in a son. I just hope and pray that I am half the father to him as you were to me. I love you and miss you so very much.

Happy Anniversary! 47 years ago we were just married. I remember it like it was yesterday. Doesn't seem like 47 years. We were always talking about celebrating our 50th. I miss you more as each year goes by. I can picture each detail of that day in my mind clearer than I remember things that happened yesterday. I wish we could celebrate together. I still feel your presence all the time--remember what a beautiful day it was for the wedding--not so today here in Arizona, but I talked to Tim today and he said it was beautiful there--68 degrees, sun shining and no wind. Thunder and lightening and rain here today. That doesn't help since I'm pretty weepy today anyway. Love you and pray for you and the whole family all the time. Celebrate with everyone up there today, have a drink for me and tell them all I miss them! I love you (more)--- Jeanne

Happy (belated) Birthday, Dave--We all thought about you yesterday as we do everyday. Another father's day is coming up and we will miss you even more. There is not a day that goes by when you are not in my memory or dreams. Everything I see reminds me of you--I miss you and love you....more. God bless you and my whole family--living and dead. Please watch over our whole family--I know you're with us all the time.

June 22, 2009

Happy Father's Day (even though you're not my "father"). Another year has gone by and as I sat in the living room yesterday looking at the recliner the kids bought you for father's day years ago, I wished you were in it. I pray for you every day and miss you more as the years go on. Love and kisses!! (I love you ......more). Jeanne

June 21, 2009

Happy Father's Day, dad. I wish that we could all still be together and have a big BBQ at the house today, like we used to. I miss you and love you. Tim

June 3, 2009

Years come and years go
and so, my love, it seems
the only place I'll meet you
Dave is in my nightly dreams.
So I'm sending you a birthday wish
with love and kisses too
And know that you are missing me
the way that I miss you.

Happy Birthday--I love you (more),
Jeanne

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday, Dad. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you or miss you.

Jeanne Davy

January 5, 2009

Days come and go and here it is, three years after you left us. We still miss you, think about you and talk about you often. The holidays came and went, but not without your absence unnoticed--even the last meal we all shared together. I came across some poems I wrote way back when we were first married. You loved to read those poems and often bragged to family and friends about how great a poet your wife was!! I still feel part of me died and went with you--even after three years. I miss holding hands and talking about our grandchildren over coffee in the morning. I miss the vacations we used to take--I miss dancing with you--and most of all I miss life without you. Till I see you again--I love you.....more.

Today is no special day that you had...just a day that I really felt your presence. It's such a beautiful day here in Phoenix (while Chicago is awful). I still think about you and wish that I could take you to this new restaurant that opened up down the block from here for breakfast. I miss you Dad. I know that you are giving a little extra help to Gavin when he hits one of his balls hard off the tee!

Love you!
Suzy

Celebrated my "66th" last night a week early because Tim was in. Watched the video that Tim made from all of our old pictures. What a stroll down "memory lane!" I guess you never realize what a great time you had with your kids until it's all over and you look back. I'd give anything to go back and start all over--As always, missing and thinking about you. I love you......more--Jeanne

Jeanne Davy

June 15, 2008

Happy Father's Day!! We all miss you and wish you were here. We love you and will never forget all the happy times we had together--It seems like yesterday when we were all together. Sometimes I wish we could go back 30 years and relive what we had. I know you're in a better place now with no suffering. I miss you--I love you---more---Jeanne

Jeanne Davy

June 3, 2008

Happy Birthday Dave--We've all been thinking about you today-and missing you. I'm sure you can see how the grandkids have grown--CJ and Gavin are both in baseball, Kiana is doing great in dance and Bree is holding her own in golf. How things have changed. But I'm sure you know that. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I have many happy memories as do the kids. When I feel sad, I think about all the good times we had--all the vacations--holidays--baseball games--cheerleading competitions--the time you told us how to deal with bees--just stand still and they'll go away. I don't think the kids will ever forget that. Please give my love to my mom, dad, brother, aunts and uncles. I miss you all! Till I see you again, I love you---more. Jeanne

Dad--when the backyard was new.

I just wanted to say Happy B-Day for June 3rd. Just because it's been a couple of years it doesn't mean we love you any less or think about you any less. I still miss talking to you everyday. How about a little help with the Sox offense, huh? Keep watching out for Mom. I love you. --Tim

January 7, 2008

Another year has come and gone, but with no less grief. I do find it easier to talk about you and reminisce with the kids, but still wish you were here. You left us with many wonderful and funny memories--and we bring them up time and time again. You will never be forgotten. Till I see you again, I love you. . . .more. Jeanne

Happy 44th Anniversary,Dave--We were already married 44 years ago at this time and looking forward to a great reception and the rest of our lives together. I still remember it as though it was yesterday. I sat outside last night looking at the sky and stars--remembering the talks we would have about how many years it would take to reach the moon or planets, how long was a star year, and you would give me that look and say, "Are you sure you were second in your class?" I miss all those talks we had together and believe it or not, your jokes. We all miss you and talk about you all the time. Till we see each other again, I love you (more) Jeanne

Jeff Davy

I know you have kept an eye on Bree and all that she has acomplished. I know you are proud and I wish you were here to share her success with us. Please keep an eye out for her. She remembers you and wishes you were here to see her parking spot at our golf club.

Love,

Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day--another year, another birthday without you and this Sunday will be another Father's Day without you. Although you're not here, you're not forgotten. We talk about you all the time. Even though we miss you terribly, you're in our thoughts, dreams and hearts and always will be. I know you're watching over us all the time. I can't even express how much hurt is still in my heart. You were someone special--who will never come along again. Love and kisses (I love you more) Jeanne

Happy Father's Day, Dad. There are days when I wish that I could still talk to you and get your advice on things or just talk and see what's going on. It always made me feel better after talking to you. I recently returned from visiting Mom and it was the first time I was there since you passed. It was hard to walk around the house and know that you were not there, especially when Mom was at work and it was only me there. I kept wishing that somehw, someway that you would come ut of the bedroom and sit in your chair and ask why the Sox stink so much this year or you would ask me if everything was alright. I miss our converstaions that we had and even though you were 1400 miles away I never felt closer to you than the last few years you were alive. You were my best friend and I miss you everyday. One day we will have those conversations again and maybe play some catch. I love you and miss you. Tim

Happy Valentine's Day, Dave. It's not the same, but I'm thinking about you anyway. I wish we could celebrate together. Please know that I love you and miss you and I know your family loves you and misses you too and wishes you were here. You're in a better place now--with no aches and pains--and you can breathe better than ever. You are forever in my thoughts. Till we meet again--I love you---more. Jeanne

To see you in the funeral home was something I will never forget. When I received the call from Mom that you had died, something was taken from me that could never be replaced. I remember seeing you with Suzy at the funeral home in Scottsdale, before your wake, before we had you flown back home, that is how I will always remember you. The journey to bring you back and have you buried beneath Mom's parents is complete. Tomorrow will be 1 year since your burial.
I remember flying Mom and you in for the 'Davy' family reunion and watching the excitement on your face when you shared memories with your sister and cousins. I also remember trying to make that trip special because I had a feeling that it would be your last trip home. Our last hug at the airport was something that only you and I felt. We both knew it was the last time. I remember you giving me an extra hard hug. I know Mom and you enjoyed your trip home. You lived such a hard life, harder than anyone can imagine. I could not fathom losing my mother just a few days after you turned 8. But, I do remember you telling me that you did not want to suffer as your mother did. Thankfully, God granted you your wish although I know you did have your share of problems before you died. These problems only alerted some of us to what would really hit us last January 2nd.

P.S. I will always remember the upgrade on my flight, I know you had something to do with it.

I will always remember you.

Love,
Jeff

To my loving husband Dave—whom I miss and think about every day. Life hasn’t been easy this past year without you—life seems to be endlessly casting remembrances of our life together—families attending sporting events together, fathers taking their children out to the ballpark to hit balls, grandparents with their grandchildren, older couples enjoying things that we’ll never have a chance to enjoy. Our “golden years” will never be. No more jokes for me to make the comment that "you had to have made that one up!" or hearing your comment to me-- "Are you sure you were second in your class?" No more long talks about the universe and the definition of light years. I miss all of this terribly. I pray that God will give me the strength to carry on my life and enjoy our family until the time comes when he chooses to reunite us together. As ever, I love you---more. Me

Today is the anniversary of my Dad's passing. There isn't a day that went by in the past year that I didn't think about him and miss him. I know he is in a better place without pain now, and that is the only thing that makes me get through this hard time without him. I think it was exactly at this time...9:20 in the morning, that I learned of his death. There was a hole in my heart that has never healed. It will never fully heal either.
He was an incredible person and lived a full life packed with amazing memories and family that loved him. My wish on this day is that he continues to come to us in spirit and blesses us with his optimism on life. I miss him and can't wait until the next time we can talk. I love you Dad.

My dear friend Jeanne and Family,
This day is the first that I heard of Dave's passing. I thought of you, Jeanne, and Dave on your recent anniversary date, remembering the beautiful wedding and festivities. I had no idea about Dave. Your marriage was always special to me as I double-dated on your first date with Dave (remember?). Dave was a wonderful husband, father and friend and I will always remember his kindness and, of course, he always had more than one joke to tell. He could always make me laugh. I have alot of great memories with both of you and your families. If I would have known about his passing, I would certainly have been there for you. I am so, so sorry that time has passed us by and our friendship. You are all in my prayers. May He give you strength and understanding as you continue your earthly lives. I'm sure Dave is watching and smiling and very proud of his family. With my love and truly heartfelt sadness for your loss. Sharon

This past Sunday was Father's Day and it was the first in my life without my dad. I sometimes took Father's Day for granted because I am not a father myself. It didn't mean that much to me until this past Sunday when I could not speak to my dad on this day for the first time in my life. I miss having converstaions with him about sports, bad jokes, and when I am going out to Arizona again(hopefully for good one day soon). There are times I pick up the phone to sya something to him about something that may have just happened or to just say hello. Then I realize that I can't talk to him by phone. I know he can hear me, but I miss his responses. life will never be the same without you. You were my best friend and the best dad that any person could have. I love you and miss you. Love Tim

This weekend, June 3rd, we will be celebrating my husband's 67th birthday. There's not an hour in the day that goes by without my thinking about and missing him. I know he's in a better place now, not suffering from his many illnesses and I know he's watching over us. Happy Birthday, Dave--I love you (more).

Suzy Guarino

May 20, 2006

It has been almost 5 months since my Dad has passed. His birthday is coming up. It would have been June 3rd. Every day I still miss him and wish I could see him. I know that he is with us here, helping us with decisions, whispering his advice in our ears. All you have to do to hear him is stop and listen. I hear him all the time. He was a wonderful person who dedicated his life to others, whether it be as a coach or helping the city of Chicago rid of crime. He has influenced so many people over his lifetime...there are people in this world who spend an entire lifetime and don't touch as many people's lives as my Dad did in just a short time. He was a teacher not only in baseball or police dispatching, but in life. Listen to him speak to you in your life. He is still talking, you just need to listen.
