5/20/2009 * Nancy * David, sudden heart attack * This year, 2014, will be my 5-year anniversary. He went to get hay for our horses, and I never got to say goodbye, as he passed away after pulling his truck over to the side of the road, he must not have felt well. There was not one hay bale out of place, he had pulled over safely. A farmer found him right after it happened. I had a police officer and coroner come to my front door to tell me it had happened, I did not want to speak to them, I immediately knew my David was absent from the body and present in the spirit. His passing occurred 2 months after both of my parents died in our home (we had been caregiving them, my mom had cancer, my dad multiple heart issues- they passed within 2 months of each other, then Dave 2 months later.

5/22/2011 * Linda * Ken - Complications of stroke * He loved me unconditionally and I miss that every day. In his last days God gave him several visions of heaven and he was excited to go home. One of his last statments to me was 'I don't understand why people don't do what they need to do to get to heaven because it's so wonderful there." I know he is happy now.

I was blessed to enjoy 12 years of marriage to him. He loved life and loved "his girls." He fought a valiant fight with cancer. He never asked "why me?" and inspired me with the strength of his faith. I always expected him to go first, but not to die so young. He inspires me to do something great with my life and I hope he is proud of what I have accomplished thus far. * Washington State
5/29/2014 * Peggy * Robert died from complications from HepC. His cause of death was Hemorrhagic Shock - he bled to death internally. * No children * I miss Bobby so much. I don't know how people get through this brutal thing. It was an honor to know and love this man. It was an honor to be loved by this man. The world is less bright because he is no longer in it. * Crestline, California
5/30/2012 * Jayne * David; cardiac arrest (likely) * Children - Saralyn (41) and Chad (38); 6 grandchildren * Dave was only 67 years old and his death was totally unexpected. I found him sitting in front of his computer, looking like he had fallen asleep. He was a good father and great grandfather, a hard worker and very artistic. He is now celebrating a new life with Jesus. I know
this was all in God's plan, and right now I don't like it very much. Thank you for 45 years together.
