David's Prayer, I overheard him pray the last time he visited me in Las Vegas from May 15-21, 2016
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we pardoned; and It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I've found now peace at the end of the day.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief; don't lengthen your time with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now - He set me free."

not even sure if you remember me. we were best friends in 8th grade. spent every day all day together. you introduced me to some cool music and you made me laugh so much. I can still hear your laugh. You were amazingly charismatic. we spent a short time together but it stills feels like eternity. Hanging before and after school at Vista in MoVal. got into a little trouble together lol. we always came out okay though. Used to spent the night at each other’s houses playing Mario kart until we fell asleep. I remember your mom being the sweetest to me when I went to your house. she loved you so much.
I think about you often and have since out last conversation in about ‘94 or ‘95 at HS, Canyon Springs. you moved away. We lost touch. I’m sorry I didn’t reach out. I hope you had a good life my friend. I’ll keep the memories alive for us. til we meet again ❤️

Our paths never crossed, David, although I feel that I knew you through long conversations about you with your mother. I do know that, although troubled, you lived your life as best as you could. It’s also obvious by the number of heart felt wishes of bon voyage here, that your wonderful spirit walked forth and touched many lives in this momentary physical experience of yours. May God bless you, David, your family, and your friends during this time of your passing.
And may I humbly offer to you and your friends here, for what comfort it may afford, that as your ship slowly sails away from this shore, and as you look back to see everyone’s tears of sadness and waves of goodbye start to fade in the distance, take comfort in knowing that there are just as many tears of joy and waves of hello from your loved ones on the other shore who are eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Mother & Son Poem
David's Trip to Alaska
In very early May, 2016 David flew to Anchorage, Alaska to "visit" his dear cousin, Albert who had been living in Alaska for the last 6 years when he moved from us here in Las Vegas; David was so very excited about this trip; he was going to experience Alaska; he wrote a detailed journal everyday of his trip and took videos and pics as well! When David first told me about his trip..it was for a "visit" and he was extremely conflicted because he would not see me on Mother's Day...but I encouraged him to go and he planned to fly here to Las Vegas to spend a week with me to celebrate Mother's Day a little late. So as David is in Alaska he is calling me or texting me everyday...then he was telling me he and Albert were on a road trip to see the state's capital, Juno and he was going to see the Glaciers...I was excited for them both. Next communication I have with him he says he is on a ship/vessel kind of like a small cruise ship!!! I am so very happy he was doing this with Al and he sounded so happy and excited at the beauty he was experiencing. He said his return flight would be Sunday, May 15th and he would let me know if he needed me to pick him up! On Sunday morning he called and told me he arrived in Las Vegas and a friend had picked him up and needed help with a move and he would be to my house mid afternoon and wanted me to be ready to go get Thai Food at our favorite place, Basil Lime when he finally arrived ...I went to door and peeped thru and saw him there with this huge smile on his newly bearded face and a backpack on...I could see someone behind him but could not make out who it was...yet! opened my door and as I was giving him a big hug and kiss he said Hi Ma...look who I brought home? Happy Mother's Day!!! My nephew, Albert was behind David...a beautiful shock went thru my body...he then said he was sorry for lying to me about it being a "visit" but they both wanted to surprise me!!!! I am so grateful to have my nephew home here in Las Vegas with me! ❤️
