David is a very special and loving and caring guy.

You are very special and are always in my thoughts and prayers.

God is at work in our lives.

Get in the word as it will help you.

Davie,

I love you more than life itself and I miss you so much. You are such a big part of my life and you mean the world to me. You are my heart in human form and my best friend who I could never replace. Like my mom always said she wanted a knight in shining armor to come and sweep me off my feet, and you are the one who did just that. Please watch over me because I need you so. “May God bless the broken road that led me straight to you.” David I will never forget you. You are always in my heart and nothing will ever change that. Thank you for the best years of my life honey. You completed me.

All my love forever and always,
Your Princess Mollie

We are so sorry about your loss and the pain you must be going through. We will keep you in our prayers and thoughts.

Here is a poem that I love.

-----------------------------------

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there, I did not die.
----------------------------------

Please watch over us and guide us through life. I am so happy that we got to share such a wonderful time in Mexico, that was the vacation of a life time and I have you to thank for that. Thank You for every thing you have ever given to me. You are my world and I love you

This note is from Carol Kendrick's sister. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I only knew David for a short time as he carried my Dad who just passed and he was a blessed pallbearer at my Dad's funeral. He was such a kind guy. You could tell the first time in meeting him and he would do anything for anybody. Remember the good times and remember that God will carry you as we are also doing the same with Dad. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, God will take care of you. Psalm 23.

Dear Cheryl,Ray and Heather,

"I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today,
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way...

His love is always with you
His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares
You know He will see us through.

So when the road you're traveling
on
Seems difficult at best...
Just remember I'm here praying
And God will do the rest."

We love you-
Cousins Jim,JoAnn and Justin
