Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I can't even begin to start. It might have been 3.5 years ago, but you are still all around us. I think of you often. I can't even begin to tell you, how many papers you have helped me with. Right now I'm going back to school. It hasn't been the easiest, but sometimes easy isn't always the way is it.
I'm still trying to get a fund under your name. Again, not an easy task, but I"M NOT giving up!!! You wouldn't have given up on us.
Well, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Please watch after your girls! I can't believe how grown up they are, but I'm sure you already know that. It's always a treat to see them.
We all love you!!

Well we are through another holiday season and missing you as usual. We are so honored by your presence in our lives still! than you for the confirmation you give me. You and I are so fortunate to be the parents of the two most beautiful young ladies I know. The strength i gain from them is unmeasurable. You would be very proud of your mom and the changes she's made in her life. She has her hands full with the kids but i"ll always be there for them all. Life has changed but my love for you still remains. I love you Pookie and miss you.

As Christmas time is approaching I find myself remembering the conversation that we had when you told my husband and I about the call that you had to go out on and the kids didn't have a Christmas tree. That year you went out and bought those extra trees so that you could pass them out to the families for their children. That kindness and compassion that you showed to even those families that you had to go out after and sometimes even arrest was beyond anything I can ever imagine. You are the greatest and we will be missing you dearly this Christmas.

Hey David - The kids have their first South Gallia Jr. High Football game tonight. Really excited to watch mine play and yours cheer. Hahaha and yes I did say cheer! We miss you so very much. I know that if you were here you would be sitting in those stands rooting the boys and cheerleaders on because that is just the awesome kind of guy you were. Things just will never be the same here without you!

Dave, As I sit here doing a paper for school, you come to mind as you always do. (which I think that was you messing with my keyboard, but thats ok) I just want to say thanks for touching all of our lives. Whether it was listening to you laugh eating ice cream, or sharing your life with all your girls (who I know miss you). I'm trying to get a fund started in your name, it's not the easiest task I've ever done, but it's one that is very rewarding.
I don't know why, but I just thought of a time we were all up in the cafeteria talking. You and Kevin were watching the t.v eating and I remember just looking at you (somewhat in amazement) so I asked you, how often do you workout? You just gave me that chuckle you give. and said, I'm a farm boy. This is from lifting hay. So I chuckled back and said, you think mike will help you. I remember you laughing. and without saying a word you nodded in a nope.
You were an amazing man Dave, you WILL NEVER be forgotten.

David Alan, I miss you! Thank you for the constant reminders of your guidance and love. You deliver these messages to me in a way only YOU could. Very blessed! I'm doing the best I can. Mikayla asked me if our lives would ever be normal again.... Not sure how to answer that question for her. Life as we knew it is no more BUT. Our journey here is not over. I'll make the best of this life knowing I have a promise from our Heavenly Father to see you again. We love you today as much as we did May 22. Continue to be with us! Me and the girls love you so much! Help me in my decision making. I intend to make u proud! I love you

Your loving wife, Michelle

Dave... I think about 3 years ago, and the unknown that we all faced. If we would have only known what would we have did differently? That dreaded phone call still haunts me to this day. I think of it often, and instantly think of your girls. I only know what I felt, so Can't even imagine what they went through and still going through for that matter. We will honor you again Saturday, not a memorial, but a celebration of your life. Cause I know you wouldn't want us to mourn, but celebrate. I couldn't make it to Washington this year, but was able to watch it from home. I told Mike - I don't care what happens next year. I AM GOING!!! I know Mason would love it. He wants to be just like you when he grows up. policeman by day and fireman at night. Just do me a favor would ya, Please look after him.
Dave... You are always in our thoughts and our hearts, but as this time approaches we are just reminded that this isn't a bad dream that it is real, and hurts just the same. We all love you!
Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN!

Just wanted to say... we are all thinking of you, you are in our thoughts everyday, not a day goes by. You were only in our lives for a short time, but WOW what an impact you have made... I'm not sure if we are going to be able to go to washington this year, and I hate that. But I think we might try to go down later this year, take mason down and show him... I know he would have loved to go - see all the officers, there isn't anything like it... Honoring you, is an honor to me.
Keep on watchin, Look after Mike and Matt, as I know you are. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to play a joke on them either...

Happy Easter Dave!! WE MISS YOU!

Pookie, missin you lots! so thankful for the path we walked together! There are many days I feel lost and alone without you, then in your own sweet way you remind me that you never left me alone! You show me things that if I take time to see and listen to I find peace and comfort that ive never known before. I'm thankful for unconditional love. It truly is a gift. I'm thankful for God's promises. I know I will see you again and that gives me great joy. I will try to do according to Gods' will and make you proud of me. Thank you for loving me then and loving me still.

your loving wife, michelle

Hey Dave... its hard to believe we all had to start another year without you. I've been thinking about you alot lately. and wishing I was able to give everything I have to bring you back. Bring you back so your girls knew how lucky they really are. Bring you back so you can make yet another huge difference in the world. I'm so confused and struggle everyday... I wish you could help me...
