Another year has come and gone, and we have lost several friends that were very dear to us, Scotty, Dave Carr, & our sweet Sarge. I hope you are at peace, and also have found comfort joining your Mother, Father, & Brother Jim. Our family is dwindling, but the ones of us who are left behind, still think of you daily. I still pray to make it through the holidays, but after all of these years, somehow, it's getting more bearable. Sending you "Never Ending Love, Patti

Husband In Heaven
Although you sleep in Heaven now
You're not that far away

My heart is full of memories
And you're with me everyday
You lived your life with meaning
And with a smile upon your face
A world that was full of happiness

Is now an empty place
People say that only time
Will heal a broken heart
But just like me and you
It has been torn apart

I know you are at peace now
And in a place where you are free
Meet me at the Pearly Gates

Happy Anniversary My Sweet David. All My Love, Patti

Today you celebrated another Birthday in Heaven. I'm sure it was glorious. Most of your family & friends are with you now. I'm thankful for the Birthdays that I was able to spend with you.
I miss you more than ever, but each day I put one foot in front of the other and try to make someone else's day a little brighter.
In a few days, we will be celebrating another anniversary. I will light a candle like the one we lit in church together.
Your Sons are both handsome and look very much like you when you were their age. I know you would be very proud of the men they have become.
Have a blessed day in Heaven.
Love you
Patti ✨

"A life beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered."

(This touching quote is from Forever Missed)

Today marks your 8th Anniversary in Heaven. This year you are with your Mom, Dad, & Brother Jim. I'm sure it was a glorious celebration.
Jesus had another Birthday, & each year more of your friends are joining you. This year, Scotty, Dave, & Sarge are celebrating each day with you. I miss each & everyone that has left me here, but I know they're in good hands.
I was in the hospital again this year, and I felt you were with me. I was ready to join you, but God wasn't ready to take me yet.
I am still counseling Cancer Patients, especially the families at St. Jude's and the young victims who cannot speak for themselves.
I am leaving a new picture of your Son, Greg and his Beautiful wife, Tiffany.
Please give everyone my love.
Your Wife

David
Today is your Birthday. Do they have parties in Heaven ??? If they do, I'm sure that you've asked for a Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese frosting.
You always asked for that when you were here with me.
Each year, I find it harder to go on without you. I still have not made peace with the loss of you.
We were supposed to go on.
We were supposed to grow old together.
We were supposed to go another cruise to Mexico.
We were supposed to make more memories.
The pain of my loss remains after 7 years. I know I should celebrate that there is no more pain, or sickness in your body. I can't move on & please know that I don't plan to until we are reunited in Heaven.
Some days I feel you're all around me. I hope so.
I know you are with God, Jesus & the Virgin Mary.
Bless you my darling.
Patti

Last night was my traditional lighting of your candle. Today is your 7th year in Heaven. This year you are surrounded by another family member. Your Brother Jim. I hope that brings joy in the unification between Brothers. Last nights' candle was on all night to signify the eternal pain in my heart. I kept my promise of counseling others with Cancer. I will take comfort in that for the time being. I hope you are happy in Heaven, & I pray for the day I will join you.

Today I pay tribute to the new addition of our family. Your Son, Greg. I am so sorry you never had a chance to meet him, but I will do my best to share that special part of you that's left behind.

Your Wife,
Patti

Another Birthday has come and gone without you. The days seem to be filled with loneliness & countless tears. After all of these years, I hoped God would heal my broken heart ❤. You were my life, my love, & my purpose for living. And you will always be. But, each day that comes and goes, promises to be one day closer to you. There is comfort knowing we will be together in God's Kingdom. It comforts me to know you are with your Mother and Father.
God bless you my Love.!!! I
Hail Mary, Mother of God, please take Care of my David and watch over him.

David was raised a devout Catholic. These Prayers are for him today, tomorrow, and eternity.

                (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen

Today, I am lighting a candle for remembering the 6th year that God took you home. I miss you every day. I know that God is giving you peace and love.
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit , soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord.
Love Eternal,
Patti

Today I stretch my arms open wide and try to reach up to Heaven. The tears are still part of my everyday life, as well as your memory. Especially today, for another Birthday has come to pass. Another year without you, another year of pain and sorrow, another year of leaving messages which I hope God will pass on to you. In a few days, we have another anniversary, but I know with God's help, I will get through the day.
Please send down a kiss and a prayer, and I will do the same.
Your loving Wife,
Patti

Tonight marks 5 years since the Lord took you home. Each year I try to celebrate another New Year, but find myself wondering what is so wonderful about another year without you ? I know that you are in a better place, where there is no pain, no suffering, or tears. Only love and peace.
There is not one day that I don't feel the pain and heartache of your loss.
We will see each other again, and I know you will come to guide me home.
Your Wife,
Patti

Tonight I will light a candle to acknowledge the 4th year of your passing. I will remember every moment of our journey, and that heart-breaking day. So, as I try my best to live on, I am sending this special Catholic Prayer to you in Heaven.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

David, Today you have been in Heaven 3 years. I am still carrying on my mission, as I promised I would do on New Year's Eve 2013. I'm trying to keep my promise to be strong, but it is so hard. I'm sending my love and a prayer to you as I do each year. Please know that I will fly on golden wings to be with you, when my time on Earth is through. Until then, walk with the Angels. Sending love, Patti.

Today , I'm sending a message to God. I hope David has found peace in our Heavenly Home. My heart is still broken, but I find comfort in knowing that you, "Our Savior" delivered him from his pain here on Earth.
