We can only express how much you will be missed. Only wish we had not been so far apart so our families could have had more time together. Please take care of the loved ones up there, as we will continue to care for those left behind. Your journey is done and we pray that all can be at peace. Love you very much. The Day God Called You HomeGod looked around his Garden and found an empty place.He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain. And knew that you would never get well on earth again.He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes, He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your children, you're always by our side.It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home. Author: Unknown

I worked with Dave at Uline for awhile before I moved to night shift. Dave was the nicest guy and always always had a smile on his face. He will be missed.

Brianna, I wish there was something I could say to help all of this make sense... but I can't. I love you so much... as a sister... and that will never change. Your dad will always be remembered for his fun loving spirit and his laugh that could light up a room. I am so grateful to have gotten to know him. He will now be your guardian angel looking down on you always with nothing but smiles. I love you Bri and will always be there for you, night or day. Keep the wonderful memories of your dad alive.Love you naners.xoxo- Jbug
