Aaaah, to know Big D was to know a wonderful man with a sense of humor no one could resist. I have met Big D and like so many I loved him too. He was one of my mama�s best friends and no one could have asked for a better person to fill such a significant place in one�s life. I would remember the jokes he told to make me laugh and the fun we had at Niagra Falls. He knew exactly what to say so that you would laugh so hard your stomach hurt. (We tried not to pee on ourselves because that gave him incentive!) To lose a spirit so filled with love put a hurt on the lives of many. It will be hard to smile knowing that he isn�t just a phone call away. But the one thing that brings me joy is knowing that God needed a little more sunshine in the sky. I have noticed that since he has left us, that I haven�t seen rain. I believe that he has everyone up there laughing so hard no one has had time to control the weather so the sun just keeps on shining. Thank you, David. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for making us smile. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for your helpful hand, your open ear or your available shoulder. Thank you for being you. My prayers are with his family. I know that things are very hard right now, but remember that he is always with you as he is always with us. Remember that every time you see the sun shining, know that it�s because Big D is smiling. And when Big D smiles, you can�t help but smile with him.
Tears well up
All I do is cry
You aren�t here and I don�t know what to do.
Things aren�t the same
Life is just empty
Why aren�t you here with me, why can�t I see you?
My pain is overflowing
Every thought hurts my head
My heart feels like it�s breaking, my spirits is weak too.
I miss you so much it hurts
I can�t take anymore
You are not here. This CANNOT be true.
But I feel a ray of sunshine
Love can ease the heart
I see the sun is shining and I smile because it�s you.
This doesn�t take away the pain
But I smile for another day
You will look after me, because you love me the way you do.
I have friends and family around me
I will love them today
Because tomorrow is undetermined, you�ve shown me this too.
By keeping your memory alive
You stay in my heart and on my mind
Life is still hard, but you help me make it through.
You will always be with me
Never left my side
I miss you so much it hurts, only because I LOVE YOU.
You will never be forgotten.
This I know to be true.
So please smile on me sunshine, and keep loving me the way you do.
Dedicated to my UNCLE BIG D. You were always considered family and nothing has changed except my life after meeting you. Keep shining, for all of us to see. You are and always will be missed.
Love you.

Subject: hurry home.
Just know, that no matter how many "fight" brothers,
and sisters have, when one of our family members needs us,
we all set our differences aside, and pull together.
Hope you can make it back soon, and fill our eyes
with your words again.
Hurry home,
Your brother,
David
