Brother Dave,
God saw you getting tired and
a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking
hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
You will greatly missed and in our
hearts forever, you were my best friend and a great brother.
Love Tom, Deb, Jason and Mark

"And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean
and the clean bones gone.
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad, they shall be sane.
Though
they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost, love shall not;
And death has no dominion."
David & I loved each other with all our hearts and soul. Through thick and thin our love prevailed, never
undying and never untrue. We have watched our three children Lindsay, Lauren and Justin grow into adults that
we could not be more proud of and our beautiful grandson, Brydon, come into our lives. I will miss him every day and
every night for I have lost my one true love. However, death ends suffering and he is in no more pain. We shall
be together once more when our Father sees fit. I will always love you and you will be with me always in my heart, in
my mind and in my soul.
"Though lovers be lost, love shall not."
Always (your Gracie),
Heidi

_____________ Brute strength like old John Henry, a modern day steel drivin man;
known to many as Iron Head, with
a railroad hammer in his hand.
A fiery edge that kept him focused, and determination in his eyes;
the
love and protection of a parent, he was an uncle in disguise.
Fond memories as a child, being held by the leader
of the pack;
fond memories as a man, having a chance to give that love back.
This big-hearted Adams
man, who would hug me like I was his own;
will be missed, but never forgotten; shall be free, but never alone.
Jason
_______________ My
dearest Dave,
You were one of a kind and a friend
from the beginning until the end. The world has lost someone truly special, but memories live on forever.
May you rest
in peace.
With love,
Dottie _______________ You have my deepest condolences for the loss of Dave. Dave
and I have been friends and co-workers for over 37 years. I have hundreds of stories that I will always remember.
He was truely a good friend. I am sad that Dave did not get to spend a lot of time with his grandson, and that his grandson
will not get to know his grandfather better. He was a really great guy. I will miss Dave.
