David,
OMG! My sister told me what had happened. I pray that your family and children will cope easily to your loss. I pray your children will grow up and make you proud, even if your not there to see it in person, I know youll be watching down from the heavens looking out after them. Youre thier Guardian Angel now David, you and God watch over those babies and keep those babies safe! Jessica, I know we never met and you probably have no idea who I am, but nonetheless I am sadden by what has happened. Stay strong missy and if you need anything, dont hesitate to ask. RIP David Lira Jr

I have many,many priceless memories with David and although we were'nt as close as before it still hurts knowing he has passed.Life is just not planned out the way I thought!! I WILL NEVER FORGET DAVID LIRA!!! Anyone who has met him will not forget him!!! I know u are now inheaven looking down on us smiling!!! REST IN PEACE DAVID!!! we shall meet again!!!

I am very sorry Angelica I know he meant so much to you and your mom and the whole family. I know he will be missed very much!! I know we had so many memories together with him, jr high high school and even when we were older he was the one we ran with,and he was just flat out crazy he could always make us laugh, he also holds a spot in my heart regardless of where life had took us.
