FÙÊÃ AÖÙ®½ Hey David, its big liƩle sister here. I am completely broken. You were my beƩer half, my joy and my light. We share the same smile, laugh, and heart. I spent my enƟre life running behind you so I could be like you. We argued at Ɵmes, but that was because I was always missing you. I thought I could keep you safe. Part of my idenƟty was making sure I was the best sister I could be and having my cape ready if you needed anything. You were the only person who knew me more than I knew myself. You would call me for my opinion on things and, truth be told, you blessed me with great wisdom on me whenever I needed it. We shared our dreams, aspira Ɵons, cracked jokes, discussed fitness & running ALL THE TIME. We talked about geƫng matching taƩoos. You always told me I was beauƟful and that I was doing a good job. You would always tell me, “Its going to be alright. You’re straight.” This has been a very hard Ɵme for me David, but the Lord is not going to give you a burden you can’t bear. What has offered comfort, is learning how many lives you impacted. You inspired, encouraged and was loved by so many people. You had a real bond with your AirForce and FexEx family. You were truly a free spirit. I will conƟnue your legacy of running, which is something we enjoyed together, and make you proud. I know you will be with me, running beside me, at every race. I love you Pookie. Love Niece Heavenly Dwelling There is a very special place above - that is filled with peace, happiness and so much love. A place where you can sing hymns of praises and be free – from sins, hatred and hosƟlity. Stay focused if this is where you want to go – so that God can greet you and open the door. Every day you must be prayed and stay in the race – if you want to reside at this holy place. So, keep your faith in God and never give in – run on unƟl you have reached the end. LiƩle Dave has earned his heavenly space – and NO ONE can take his place. Rest well my beloved nephew for I will always remember you. From the poetry of Aunt Linda Bacon
