Welcome to Dave's Beloved Hearts Memorial

Memories of Dave

I lost my brother Dave, this past Friday December 11th, 2009 from complications from Leukemia...he was 42 years young with a wife, three sons and a daughter, my mother and father and my other brother and myself, and many other relatives and friends, left mourning him. He was larger then life.....he had many many friends that will remember him for his open loving giving heart....his skills off roading on motorcycles.....his love for his wife, his three boys, and his daughter. My brother John and his wife Susi, were able to visit with him this past week...myself, my mom and dad were due to visit with Dave this coming Wednesday 12/16/09........it wasnt meant to be.......he past away on Friday 12/11/09....his wife had been with him all day and had left to pick up my nephews....when they got back...Dave was gone.... Little bro......know that I will love you until end days....Buddy and Petey are ecstatic to have you with them.....and I look forward to seeing you Dave, at the Rainbow bridge,please give my love to my little ones that are already there...I love you. Your sister, Deb If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness And secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know God looked around his garden and he found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful , he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace Be Thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above. I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. Hey My brother....We had your memorial January 16th....Mom wanted to have it on your 42nd b-day...didnt work out..We all think that the service honored your memory.....the pastor was great (he had also lost a brother) the photo board that Mom, myself and Aunt Janet (and Dad;) set up with your photos was wonderful......Susi and the girls came up with a feast....John.....his song was perfect...Wish You Were Here.......Incubus....probably the first time rock was played in that church. The song I picked out was Angels, a celtic song talking about how we all on earth are angels in training........many of your friends and people that you had worked with were there Dave...... Mark from Oasis Plumbing...Jose, many many others....long time family friends....Tom couldnt make it, but Brian T read a letter from him which was absolutely wonderful. Mom, Dad and I sprinkled some of your ashes at Blueberry Hill (the hill as we knew it) this past Easter Sunday....we wanted to sprinkle them under the big ole pine tree we all use to climb...unfortunately it was gone....but we sprinkled your ashes anyway...around the meadow....gentle breeze blowing and you on our minds....we love you very much Dave...and miss you....take care my brother..... I took my ashes to The Botanic Garden Dave and sprinkled them over a softly flowing water fall, I watched as they blended with the water as it flowed down the creek on its way to the ocean. I sent Tom some of your ashes with some photos of you as a child, young adult (with Buddy) and as a father. He called and thank us for those, he was very touched. He was going to take them with him back packing this summer and let them drift into the wilderness, I think you would have liked that. 6-11-2010 You have been gone six months now Dave and we all still miss you. Mom has your photos everywhere around their house, she gently gives you kisses from time to time. Hope you are at peace my brother, We all love you....
