In Loving Memory

We woke up this morning and received another dreaded phone call.  Our good friend Dave finally has went home to his final resting place.  No more days filled with pain for him, no more days of going for treatments, no more days of trying to be strong for everyone else around him.  He has went home to be with our father and savior.  Dave has fought the battle of Leukemia for several years now. Dave was only in his 50’s.  It’s such a shame that he was so young and only in the beginning of his retirement days.  His retirement days were spent fight a battle for his life.

Our hearts are heavy with sadness with the loss of dear friend Dave.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Barb and family.  May God give you strength and love to endure this ruff period in your lives.  It’s horrible to lose someone but it’s esp horrible to lose them so close to the holidays.  It’s been a ruff week for us as we’ve lost 2 young men in our lives that were very close to us.  We are miles away and can only be there in spirit.  May you rest in peace Dave, you will be greatly missed by many of us.

This week has reminded us how much we should cherish our lives and take each day as tomorrow may never come because we do not know if it will or not.  Remember to tell the ones you love that you love them as you never know when it will be your last chance to do so.

So many people think they will enjoy their retirement years and when that time comes it does not happen.  I know that i have lived with my disability for years and for over 10 years i laid in a bed and looked at the same 4 walls. Even though i am still fighting that disability, I have been blessed that I can spend my good days doing what i love and that is getting to see this great country.

With Christmas fast approaching remember how much your family and friends mean to you and remember what  a gift God has given to all of us by bringing his son to world.  What a glorious day that is fast approaching.
