there hasn’t been one day that i haven’t thought about you, even nearly 11 years later.  i’ve cried nearly every day since, and am finally starting to get better. i’ve visited yours and papa’s obituary pages more times than i’d like to admit, but i don’t care. every day without you both is so incredibly painful. 
i still don't understand. i’m not sure i’ll ever understand. i'm still so angry. i'm still so sad. there's so much i wish i could tell you, so many places, memories, and experiences i wish i could've shared with you. 
this world doesn’t feel the same without you in it. i’m constantly at a loss of words for how much it breaks my heart to know that you’re not here. you were supposed to be here.
to see us grow up.
to see us become adults. 
to see our futures. 
to see yours. 
there's nothing in this world i wouldn't do, to hold you again. i would give my life, if it meant it could’ve saved yours. you deserve to be here. the boys need you, we all do. so much has happened.. if you had asked me what i thought would happen in the future, 10 years ago, never in a million years would i have said any of this. 
i'm so angry that the universe took you away from us, and i'll never understand how someone so amazing, kind, and loving could be taken so quickly. 
you were my best friend. 
you meant the world to me. 
without you, there is no way i would be the woman i am today, and i thank you so so so much for that. you have taught me to be everything i am today, and what i hope to teach to my own kids, one day. 
i've loved you from the moment i met you, and i'll love you til the day i die. i hope i can meet your soul again, someday, in this life or the next. thank you so so much for everything you’ve done for us. there was never a moment where any of us questioned if you loved us or not. your love for us was always so clear. 
i love you so much. i miss you more than anything. 
i'll always be your little girl. 
i'll always be your baby bug. 

Missing you so much! Thinking about you every day! Until we met again,  dear son, I love you with all my heart! Momma

Beautiful son, I miss you! I love you! God please give me strength!

Thoughts are all about you today and the love that you brought to me and so many others! I miss you so much that words cannot even express! I will forever cherish that God gave me such a wonderful and loving son! RIP, darling! Love Mom

My Dear Son, Remembering you today and always! Love, Mama

Hey buddy just got done with my 3rd week of 1st year Apprenticeship class. It went great. Wish we were going to grab a beer tonight since its kinda a nice Friday night. Miss you. Much love to family. 

Sorry its been so long David. I still have u in my phone so that everytime I scroll through it and see your name I think of you... miss you lots. We had great times working.  Love you bro. I wish the family well.

Happy Thanksgiving, D.  We thank God for the short time we had you in our family.  You will be forever in our hearts.  We miss you.

Happy birthday, D.  Wish you were here with us.  We all miss you.
Love, Bill and Em

I see reminders of you almost daily. Sometimes they make me cry, sometimes they make me smile. It is still so hard for me to face that you are not here. But your love lives on in all of us and I am trying hard to make you proud. God has you now. And all I can think is that you must know love, peace and happiness that we do not yet comprehend. You deserve that, more than anyone I know. Until I see your sweet and beautiful face again, my angel. I love you, Mama

Our dearest D, it's been a year since God took you from us.  Our hearts are heavy and there's not a day that has gone by that our hearts are not breaking.

We love you, D, and we miss you terribly.  We miss your laughter and your bear hugs.  If our tears and the broken pieces of our hearts can build a stairway to Heaven, we'd come right up and bring you back to Emy and your children.  They miss you.  We all miss you, D.

We know you are in a wonderful place now...in the arms of our loving Father in Heaven. Though our family chain is broken, we know someday we will all be together again.


My dear friend, almost a year but ur not forgotten. taken too soon but ur purpose is done. One of God's winged men now :) 
I miss how humble n down to earth ur words were.
One day... 
All my love from my family to yours...

David - Well, it has been more than nine months that you have been gone. It will never seem real to me and I never feel like you are gone too far from us. We all miss you more than words can say. We are focusing on our family and all the kids, and finding joy so that we can keep them happy! You would be so proud! Love you will all my heart, Mama

My Dear Son, David-It is now 3 months that you have been gone and it feels like an eternity. This is so hard for all of us to be without you. It still does not even seem real to me. I love you with all my heart! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you many times in the day! You were a bright light in my life! I bet your light shines beautiful in heaven. My love for eternity! Mama

Happy birthday DJ- we love and miss you lots!!!s

Happy Birthday my darling son! I am flooded with beautiful memories today and everyday! I am missing you so much. Hope you are having a beautiful birthday party in heaven. With all my Love, Mama  xoxoxoxoxo

DJ, not only were you always there for Cory & I, I looked up to you as if you were my own brother, heck you ARE my brother. You have taught us all with the gift of kindess and optimism. Always laughing and a wonderful family man. Coming over to DJ's & Emy's home always put me in a better mood; it gave me hope for my future and I always had a good time over there. I still will, and I plan on being there for the family. I am truly appreciative to be welcomed into this family, and I miss you DJ... I know you're here, and I know you can hear my prayers. I love you man.. We love you. Now go have fun up there because I can still hear your infamous laugh!

Knew DJ as a toddler. My Prayers go out to all who are hurting ! Rest in Peace Dude.

Our hearts go out to your family! You lived wonderful full life that was cut to short. You touched many hearts with that smiling face. You are missed.   

DJ Blessed am I that God allowed me to be your Aunt. When you arrived I learned a love I had never known before, you were sunshine in my life. Never gone, never far in my heart is where you are, always close everyday every step along the way! I know I'll see you again Love Aunt Julie  

Missing you with all my heart, my dear son! I will cherish all the loving memories I had from the day you were born. Such a sweet and loving son! Truly a light in all our lives. We are all missing you so much! We will be here to take care of your beautiful family! I thank God everyday for the beautiful Grandchildren I have! Loving you always! Mama

Emy, know that God will always be there for you and the kids through this difficult time. We are with you in spirit and in prayer. You and David built beautiful memories together. Cherish them and it will provide a sweet smile and peace to you. 

I was so happy to have been able to be a part of the celebration of DJ's life.  Christine, the love that you so obviously shared with your son is always going to be with you...

               Much Love, 
                  Sooz Snyder

Our deepest condolences, Emy, we know he will be deeply missed.  May God be with you, and may you find comfort and strength in knowing David is with God in paradise.  

all my prayers and love to my sister Christine. May God give you peace. DJ was a gift, a blessing from God to all who knew him.

The girls and I are very sad, there will always be that empty space in our Hearts and lives that you once filled. You will be truly missed, but never forgotten.I know you will be watching over us from above. We Love You D.J Forever

Forever Yours, 
                 Sarah, Ashlynn,and Hannah 

To emy, the kids and the rest of D's family. We love you and you are always in our prayers. 

I have never met you but from the stories I've heard, you must have been one amazing guy. I hope I get to meet you someday. 

I have never met David personally. I just know him from the wonderful children I have heard about from my sister (Emy's Mom).
I only caught a glimpse of him while chatting with Jesse via Skype a month ago.
I am sure that for the people whose lives he touched . . . he will always live in their memories of a good man -- husband and father, brother and son, a Christian.
Our deepest condolence to Emy and the family.

Mom loves you so much my son! I miss you. You were a beautiful light in my life and a son that would make any mother feel so blessed and loved. I am so proud of the Man that you were. You are forever in my heart! Good Bye my little DJ. I Love You!
