Hi Dave, Mom and Dad are with your sister's family to join them for Thanksgiving. Leah is overseas studying so she isn't home with us either. We love and miss you. We are thankful for you everyday but this day especially. Love you.

Hi Uncle Dave, I haven't talked to you in awhile. You were on my mind tonight. I miss you a lot. I'm in Ireland right now, studying and exploring a different life. I think you'd be proud of me. Today I realized I've forgotten what your voice sounded like. I never thought I would get to a day where I could not remember what it sounded like to hear that you love me. Needless to say it was a rough day. I wish you were still with us and that I could call you. I've forgotten crucial elements of you, like the sound of your voice, and that breaks my heart. Do not be upset. I miss you. I love you. Looking at all of the other reflections, I know that others miss you and love you as well. Lots of love Uncle Dave, lots of love.

It is completely unfortunate and horrible that the California Supreme Court of Appeal actually overturned your killer's conviction!! He will be re-tried in Orange County and hopefully, will be convicted again!!

Hi Dave, Today I am visiting Lisa's kids, to babysit them while Lisa and Bill are at Notre Dame for Leah's confirmation. We all miss you so much Dave. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. All your friends tell me how much they miss you. The different police officers tell us how lucky you are to have such a nice memorial. We change your flowers every weekend.
Love and miss you a lot,
Mom

Sorry I missed your EOW date. I'm stopping in now to leave a short reflection to know that you will never be forgotten by those that love you dearly. You are forever in their hearts and those special memories they have of you will live forever.

"Loving memories we will never forget,
Sadly missed along life's way,
With silent thought and deep regret,
We think of you every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts he's always there.

Thinking of you and your family today as they begin another year without your physical presence. I pray for their solace as I know both the pain and pride are forever. As my son Larry was also your brother in green, I bid you semper fi and thank you for your service in the Corps.

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones today. I know there has not been a day since your were called away that they did not have thoughts about you. Continue to keep watch over all of them. This is for your Mom for I know the struggle she faces every day as I walk in her shoes:

"The sense of loss does not diminish with time. In truth, the expression 'time heals all wounds' is a myth. For parents, the loss of a child is permanent and mental scar tissue really does not grow over the grim memory. Rather, all tears are expended and a dull ache remains."

My sons play on the same team with your son who is now 8 years old. He is a really good boy and your wife is a beautiful and strong human being. As a father, being around your family so much reminds me of how fortunate I am to have a great family and not to take any day of it for granted. Thank you for your service.
