David

On June 23, 2010, David lost his battle with cancer, but won something else: an eternal life in Heaven. We miss him so much everyday and sometimes find it difficult to remember that David isn't with us anymore. Evan has said several times that he has almost called him, and I was naming off family the other day and his name was the one of the first ones i spouted off. I know that for a while, this is how things will be because his death is so new, and so therefore it doesn't seem entirely real. It's very strange but sometimes I will be driving or cleaning or doing anything and out of the blue, it will just hit me, and it upsets me all over again. David was not only special to Evan and I but he was special to every single person that he came in contact with. His personality was contagious and so was his love for God. He was never boastful about it, but subtle about it. The amount of respect I had for David was huge- he was good at literally EVERY role he had in life: Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Cousin, Friend, but most importantly Christian. His service was absolutely beautiful. So many people knew David and loved him- there were approx. 1100 people just at his viewing. It was awesome to be a part of such an amazing experience. To look at how many people knew David's story and supported him and his family, was breathtaking. I could write so much more about David, but Jenny really does a better job than me. You can check out his Caring Bridge site here. If you have time, please check it out, because it will definitely have an impact on you. I have no doubt that so many hearts feel the exact same way that I do. We love you David and miss you every day!
