Laid to rest

David was laid to rest on Sept 1st, 2009 at Hillcrest Burial Cemetery. He really didn't have many requests that he let us know about- except for- he wanted to be buried between Wendy, his little sister, and Mark, his best friend who passed away several years ago. That is where he is. His funeral was beautiful. I know he would have liked it. Justyn played a beautiful piano solo. It was really perfect. Kile Froisland spoke about the plan of salvation and what becomes of us in the next life. I know that my brother wasn't perfect. But I believe he was a good man. He loved his kids, his family. He was doing all he could to be better able to care for them when he got out. He was a very skilled artist. I love to see his work. He really had improved over the past few years. He was such a talented man. I will try to get some pictures on here soon. Keith said that he could even upload the video he did- which is amazing! So- stay tuned!

Who New?

Who new that when our little sister, Wendy, died last year that we would so many more to follow? And who new it would be so soon? When Wendy died, I think it was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life. I realized then, that she was the first. The first Eight. One of us will have to do this 6 more times! I hoped that person wasn't going to be me. I don't think it's right for anyone to have to go through that much pain. Unfortunately- one of us will. I hoped that it would be a long while before we would have to go through this again. That isn't the case. My oldest brother, Dave, passed away on Monday- August 24th. He had been recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Kidney cancer. We had hoped that he would be with us a lot longer than this. But now, we will have to keep him with us in our hearts and minds. I hope he knows how much we all loved him. I hope he knows how much we will all miss him. I hope he knows the heartache we are all feeling right now and how much we would all love to have just one more moment with him to hug him, kiss him, hold his hand, look at his face and tell him that we love him. I hope he knows how proud we are of him for working so hard and accomplishing so much. I am proud to call him my brother, my friend! David- I love you! One day, we will all be together again! Give Wendy big loves for us!
