Cheryl Grady Watson and Christopher Grady/family

You have been a good son to your dad, David, and The Lord is aware of your kind and gentle spirit in his regard. You can be proud of him and the way in which you cared for him. Obviously, there are many whose paths he crossed throughout his life,as well as in this community, who have recognized his contributions and yours to him. We wish you Godspeed and many blessings as you deal with this loss.

David,
I am so sorry to learn about your dad. I was a Nurse @ Westvaco for almost 20 years and knew Dave a long time. He was a kind and tender-hearted man with many friends who loved him. Please know that you have my heartfelt sympathy and may God bless you and your family in this sad time.

Sincerely,
Karen Rabon

I was so shocked to see the notice of David's death. My prayers are with you at this very sad time. David sang in the choir with me many years ago at Cokesbury Methodist Church. I remember him fondly.

David,
I am saddened to hear of your loss. I taught you math at Hanahan High and you were such a special young man. I knew your parents and could never tell them often enough how wonderful you are. It sounds like you never changed.
God bless you and may you find the love and peace you always shared with and for others.

Knowing David for many years gave me a chance to see the big heart he had for doing good for others. He made a difference in the lives of people who needed a favor or helping hand. One of his best was to use his voice for the Lord. Dave sang at my Dad's funeral and we often talked about him singing at mine. He loved to be out on the water fishing and being with nature. I know he is happy now with no more suffering. He has gone home to be with his other loved ones. David,I saw the love you showed your Dad and he would be the first one to tell me what a great son you have been to him.Thanks for letting me share some of the good times. You will miss him but he will be waiting on you.

David, I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your loved one. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers.
Mayor Minnie Blackwell and Hanahan City Council

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
