Home - Remembering David

6/13/2008

I know you've gotten my e-mail (or will) but I thought I would sign this as well. Death is a tough struggle to get through, especially when it involves the one who's closest to you. I looked at the photos of your family and my heart melted. To see him with the boys he took in as his own, it shows how devoted of a father he was. To see photos of you two together, you could see how much he loved you and you loved him. I'm not saying any of this to upset or hurt any feelings. What I'm saying is that we should celebrate his life and who he was rather than mourn his passing. Granted I'm sure he will be deeply missed, but always remember the good times you had together and cherish them always. Live life as though each moment is the last and gain wonderful memories to hang on to in the end. Keep your head up and be strong. You and your boys need each other right now. :) Take care.

Thinking of you

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We know that our body, the tent we live in here on earth will be destroyed. But when it happens, God will have a house for us. It will not be a house made by humans hands; instead, it will be a home in heaven that will last forever.

2 Corinthians 5:1

So sorry for your loss

Dawn and Family;

I was sent this news by a friend from 30 something and wanted to take this time to send my sympathy to you and the boys. Although we only met once in Appleton I will always remember how devoted David was to you and the boys.

Please know that he is your guardian angel watching over you and the boys now. He will give you strength to carry on.

God Bless,

gigi

To Dawn and Family

You have my deepest sympathy. Know that God is with you and your family during this trying time.

I was David's Manager at ACS in North Carolina. David was always happy and positive. He was a good employee. He will be missed.

In my prayers,

Michele Wall

My Prayers Go Out to You

Hello Mrs. Heyde,

I have never met you nor Mr. Heyde. I had applied for a position in the department where your husband appeared to have worked. I was looking for the zip code when I saw the memorial information for your husband.

It touched my heart and reminded my of someone very special to me. As I was planning to live the rest of my life with this person, whom I loved and held dear to me for just over seven years, he died of a heart attack. But, no one really understood how I felt.

This happened January 2001. I still miss him so much. I will never forget him, however, the pain has lessen over time.

I wanted you to know that even though I could never feel your pain, I can relate. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

May God bless and protect you and your family. But, also remember that there apparently are many people who love and care for you and your family. It is obvious as I read through some of the notes sent to you.

You have a beautiful family.

Please take care of yourself and stay strong. (I just felt a need to write something to you. I apologize to you if you feel that I have intruded.)

Take care and God bless.

Dawn you & boys are constantly in my thoughts & prayers

Dawn...I just haven't been able to find the words to tell you how sorry I was to hear about your loss. I was just so saddened to hear about it & won't tell you I know how you feel cuz I don't. I've lost SO many loved ones in my life but nothing compares to the loss you & the boys have endured. I just can't tell you how sorry I am for that.

I have never met you face to face but the years I've "known" you thru our parent group...I know how happy David made you & the boys & I could always "see" it in the photos you have shared. And by reading all the wonderful things people have had to say about him here...the kind of man he was, the loving husband & father he was to you & your boys...sounds like a great guy & you all have a wonderful Angel watching over you day in & day out!

Know I'm always here for you hon!

Sorry for your loss

Dawn and boys:

I was so saddened to hear of David's passing. I can only imagine how you must all be reeling -- trying to come to terms with a life event you were never expecting.

I am one of the Govans moms -- mother to Mora, who was a classmate of Bryan's last year. I remember Bryan's birthday party -- how you welcomed the entire class into your home and what a loving family you are.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
