You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,

You will live on in our hearts, your're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

God looked around his Garden & found an empty place,

He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest,

His garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain.

And He knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, He closed your tired eyes,

He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly. When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,

We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

Love & peace eternal...Your Sister

TO DAVES FAMILY, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, DAVE WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MEN I KNEW. HE WAS MY ROCK TO LEAN ON WHEN FRANK DIED, ALWAYS CALLING TO CHECK ON ME AND THE KIDS. I LOOKED FORWARD TO THE DAILY PHONE CALLS. WHEN DAVE& FRANK USED TO BE IN OUR BACKYARD I WOULD YELL OUT THE WINDOW, GO HOME DAVE, HE WOULD JUST LAUGH AND SAY YES MAM, AND GO HOME. NOW DAVE HAS TRULY GONE HOME, TO BE WITH OTHER LOVED ONES. HE HAS NO MORE PAIN OR TEARS OR SORROW, HE USED TO TEASE ME FOR RUNNING TO CHURCH, AND TALKING ABOUT GOD SO MUCH, BUT THE PAST YEAR HE WAS THE ONE REMINDING ME OF GODS LOVE.DAVE, I'LL MISS YOU YOU WERE A GOOD FRIEND,BUT I AM HAPPY FOR YOU TOO, BECAUSE YOU ARE FREE NOW. THANKYOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND. I LOVE YOU DAVE. YOUR FRIEND, PEGGY
