Dear Brenda,
We pray you are comforted by those around you. Although Dave has left us for Heaven, you will always have a part of him in your heart. When acceptance comes, you will be able to see him in every day whether it be in a beautiful white cloud against a blue sky or in the faces of his children and grandchildren. He’ll always be with you. Much love, Gary, Jayne and Megan

Mom,
I know it is difficult now, but time heals all…besides as long as you never forget him or his boundless love for you he will never really leave you. Always remember he is waiting for you on the other side and will wait for as long as it takes you to get there. Love you lots and know my thoughts are with you always.
