Although I don't remember exactly when
this photo was taken, I do remember that David was trying to enjoy life. He was
taking road trips with his motorcycle buddies John and Jerry, enjoying his music
and friends. His life was slowly coming together. I remember it was around the
holidays (Thanksgiving or Christmas time) when this picture was taken by my
mother in her livingroom. He cooked a wonderful meal for all of his immediate
family, including his sons. I wanted to share it with all of you. I also wanted
to say how grateful I am for all of the wonderful friends David had in his life.
He was a very special part of all of our lives and his leaving the way he did
has truly left deep sadness that will take a long time to recover from. I know
that I will never fully recover, but I have so many wonderful memories to hold
close to my heart.
The eulogies given by Larry, Fred and Everett said it
all. They brought many tears to my eyes and touched my soul. I hope they will
share what they said here, so we can all remember how very special David was and
will remain, in our hearts. Thanks to Warren Goff for creating this and giving
us all the opportunity to show our love for David. It helps ease the unbearable
pain of losing him. Hopefully this site, dedicated to my brother, will grow and
be shared by many. Please bring your photos, songs, comments and anything else
you can emit, to keep his memory alive in all of us.
With love and
gratitude,
Sister Suzie
