ForeverMissed
Large image

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, David Mundt, 78, born on August 28, 1933 and passed away on November 23, 2011. We will remember him forever.

 

From Marie to David

In memory of my Partner and the love of my life. We had fifty-eight and a half wonderful years together.

He was the perfect example of a devoted family man. He loved his family; a loving husband, a proud parent and he adored his three grandkids. He loved taking care of his family. He was our protector; always just a phone call away.

Our family circle has been broken. His passing has left us so sad and lonely but his presence will always remain with us through his loving and caring spirit. He will always remain in my heart.

Thank you for a lifetime of memories. One day we will be together again.

I love you Dad and you will be forever missed. Your loving wife, Marie

 

 

In Celebration of the Life of David H. Mundt

In the bulb there is a flower,

In the seed, an apple tree,

In cocoons a hidden promise:

Butterflies will soon be free

In the cold and snow of winter

There's a spring that waits to be,

Unrevealed until its season,

Something God alone can see.

There's a song in every silence,

Seeking word and melody,

There's a dawn in every darkness,

Bringing hope to you and me.

From the past will come the future,

What it holds a mystery,

Unrevealed until its season

Something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning,

In our time, infinity,

In our doubt there is believing,

In our life, eternity,

In our death a resurrection,

at the last a victory,

Unrevealed until its season,

Something God alone can see.

 

 

For Dad, Mom and Bubba

Thank you Terri!

Today is Father's Day and I find each year I miss you more and more. There are those in our lives who always help keep the ground under our feet and you were definitely one of those people. I miss your steadiness, I miss our mornings together and I will always miss you.
With Love, Happy Father's Day Dad.

It's been another year Dad and it's safe to say, I still think about you every day. I might not hope or even pray, I just love and miss you in my own special way. Thank you for being there all those years for me and everyone else. You are dearly missed and you will always be loved.

Well Dad, today is another birthday for you. Life is so different with you not here. I always knew how much you were loved, but I didn't know the impact you had on so many lives. The small daily differences you made. Now I know. So today we celebrate your life and there is much to celebrate. Happy Birthday Dad. Love you and miss you more each day. Tracey

So many good memories over these long years of a good, gentle man, always smiling, completely devoted to his family. I remember the young man in Germany so in love with his Marie. Thank GOD for His promise that His children will be reunited for all eternity! We are looking forward to that, Marie. Love you.

Dad, it's been three years since you passed but to me it seems so much longer. I always knew you made a difference in everyone's life around you. I just didn't realize how different life would be without you here. You kept everything in balance and I miss that so much. I miss you. You're at peace and I am grateful for that. Thank you for so many years of your love and support. There could not have been a better father than you. I love you, Tracey

Dear David,
Three years have passed since you left us. I think of you daily and I am thankful of the years we had together. There are several changes for us this past year. Sweet little Rosco joined you on May 31st. What a happy reunion that must have been. He was such a sweet little dog. Brother Roy also joined you in August. He missed your long phone conversations. No more phone chats for the two of you! Your wedding band is now a gold heart that I wear on a chain around my neck. Just another way to keep you close. I miss you. I will love you always but I know you are okay. Rest in Peace Dad. Love you always, Marie

What I'd give if I could say
Hello, Dad, in the same old way
To hear your voice and see your smile
To sit with you and chat a while.
So if you have a father
Cherish him with care
For you'll never know the heartache
Till you see his vacant chair.

Well Dad, it has been one year since you've been gone. Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving and saw the family. It was nice for everyone to be together, but you were missed. It simply wasn't the same. But then again, it never will be quite the same. We talk about you and we will always remember you with laughter, smiles and a little bit of tears. Love and miss you, Tracey

Uncle David,
This day is so special in so many ways. We were blessed with sharing our wedding anniversary on your birthday.

Love you lots and Happy Birthday.

Well Dad, it is your birthday today..the first one since your passing. I wanted you to know that certainly no one has forgotten. I think of you often and actually mom and I talk about you a lot. I try to think of the good times (and there were many) and I think it's okay to mix laughter with tears. I miss and love you and always will.

Dear David, Aug. 28,1933 was the day you arrived. Aug. 28, 1952 was your first birthday we celebrated together. You were 19 and I was 16. I remember it so well. I remember the first and the last, but there were many in between. This is the first I have not been able to say to you in person or by phone, Happy Birthday Dear, but I will always remember. Love you and miss you always, Marie

He had a nature you could not help loving,
And a heart that was purer than gold,
And to those who knew him and loved him
His memory will never grow cold.

Happy Father's Day Dad. I will always feel that I had the best of all dads. Love and miss you, Tracey

God asks us to Love thy neighbor as ourselves. Dear sweet David did exactly that! Richard is forever appreciative of his friendship.  He was someone you could always count on and helped where he could. We smile when we think of him!  Our thoughts turn to you Marie and hope that you are comforted in knowing that although not physically present our arms and David's are wrapped aroundyou

David, you always seemed invinceable to me. You made your on swimming pool, your on convertible mustang. You could do anything. I always thought that you could walk on water. Now you are with the one who can. I know you and Jesus are walking together on that heavenly lake together. WE WILL MISS YOU!

I didn't have much time to get to know you, but the few short years that I did have were enough for me to learn what a wonderful person you were. I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to meet you, talk with you, hug you, and smell that wonderful pipe. You are loved by so many people, and will truly be missed... Until we meet again...

Welcome to Texas

August 28, 2014

I remember my 1st trip to Texas driving my car out before I relocated here and all I knew was I was excited to get here. After making the drive ( only sleeping for 2 hrs) on a half way cross the country trip I ended up in Buda when I stayed with Aunt Marie & Uncle David's house for the night. I remember this night very well..... Dinner with them, stories about the family, Scott working at the Pizza place until late, nascar , but I still remember listening to Uncle David ask Marie to go for there nightly walk through the neighborhood. Seems minor then, but this was there routine and it was there thing... I remember so many other stories from back then but a simple 1st night in Texas will always stand out with me.

Our Anniversary - May 6, 2013

May 6, 2013

Dear David,

Today, May 6th, is our day - 60 years. I'm thankful we had 58 1/2 years before you had to go. They were filled with love and happiness. This year we will welcome our first great-granchild, a girl, for Joel and Valerie. In my heart I know you are okay. Your spirit remains as strong as ever. I miss you and will love you forever.
Marie


"You can shed tears that he is gone/or
you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray
that he'll come back/or you can open
your eyes and see all he's left.

Your heart can be empty, because you
can't see him/or you can be full of the
love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow
and live yesterday/or you can be
happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only
that he's gone/or you can cherish his
memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be
empty and turn your back/or you can
do what he'd want: smile, open your
eyes, love and go on."

Remembering You One year Later

November 23, 2012

You left us one year ago today, November 23rd.  Some say it doesn't seem possible you have been gone that long.  To me, it seems like forever.  We watched those last few weeks as your body grew weaker and all quality of life slipped away.  It was so hard, but we knew it was time to say our goodbyes and let you go. 
You left us with some remarkable memories.  I have made progress moving forward by going back in time and remembering the beginning of our life together as well as the end.  We speak of you almost daily; always with loving thoughts.  Some memories bring tears and some bring smiles.  You will never be forgotten.  You will always remain in my heart.  I still miss you and will always love you. 
Your partner in life, Marie
