In Memory of Our Sweet David

Welcome to my son David's website.

David is my first of two children. He is my only son and I miss him very much.

I did not realize at the time that David was going to die from his illness. I didn't get to say good bye to him at the hospital. As David's heart stopped beating, my heart was torn open on October 21, 1995. Time has helped a little, I am not in shock any more. David's family and I have learned how to live life without him, but it is very hard.

Writing David's story has been very hard, but I know he is here helping me with it. The songs on these pages were played at David's funeral. They are " Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" They are from the movie "The Lion King".

I pray that you will learn something from David's story and that it touches the people that need to read it.

Thank you for reading about my son David!

A Son Loaned

Please don't be angry that I took
The son that you love.
I loaned him to you for a while,
I now need him up above.

You raised him with honesty,
Love, truth & tenderness.
He always seemed to care so much,
When other sons cared less.

You helped him in his growing years,
And he needed you the most.
So try to smile above your tears,
And please don't feel so lost.

The angels came and called him,
And took him home again,
Though you really weren't quite ready,
Please try to understand.

Call any time you need Me,
Whether it be day or night.
I'll try to make it easier,
And try to make it right.
