My Brother Dave
Its so hard to put into words as no words can describe my feelings.
I have so many beautiful memories of him,From the day he was born and our Mother let me pick out his name.When My Dad carried him in from the hospital and put him in my arms and said heres your baby brother.
So many stories I can tell of Your childhood and adulthood too.
I only hope that in time these memories will replace the emptiness and the pain I feel at this moment.
I Love You Dave

What can I really say about my Uncle Dave? I could say how much we all love him and how much we'll miss him, but that really goes without saying. I always tell people that one of the most important things in my life is my family. I owe a lot of that to my Uncle Dave. Family was the most important thing is his life too. I knew that no matter where I was even if I hadn't talked to him in years, Uncle Dave would be there to help me if I needed him. He would have been there for any one of us. I never had to call on him, but just knowing I could was enough to get me through some tough times. To all of the people who will miss him I offer my love and sympathy. But just remember all of the family that passed before him. They needed him now so he went to them. I love you Uncle Dave.

Dear Hope, Marie, Jeff, children & grandchildren,
Dave will always be missed here on earth, by those that who knew & loved him.
As my mind fondly remembers you (Dave) ....
As a child: I think about the snow fort you dug for me & Crystal, complete with tunnels. That was soooo cool! We were struggling very hard at that task & you rescued us.
Also of the baseballs you sent out of the park (breaking windows). All along, my Dad, hoped you would hit the MLB. He and Bruddy (your brother Otto), the Wallkill Giants Little League Managers, would rave about the scout's coming to watch you.
As a teen: You held my heart & respected me while I became a young mother. We shared so much respect for each other.
As an adult: I have always admired your commitment to our families, past & present. You accepted the truth and shown others how do so.
I will miss you cuz! Catch ya later ((((Dave)))). Now is the time to feel the love, you will never miss it again. It will be all around you forever.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
