David, my first born son. You have been in my mind every single day for the past month or two. Maybe it was the holidays, maybe it was Thanksgiving and remembering all our fishing trips to Nags Head. This year as I went through Christmas decorations I so enjoyed touching every single special ornament that was for you or created by you. My favorite picture of you and your little brother is on a cup that sits on my desk at home ... y'all were dressed in the Santa shirts that your Aunt...

Who would you be today? Every milestone in my life, Ive missed you for. Ill miss you always. I cant believe its been 12 years. If I could get a day pass for either of us, I would. I have our picture in my office. I think of you every day! Give my dad a big hug for me. Another one gone too soon. I love you, visit in a dream soon? Xo

Missing you.. always. Thank you for always being there for me. For being a big brother, a friend, a support system. Ten years does not change the love I have in my heart for you. Today brings so memories to me and I'm thankful for every one. I love you! I miss you! I wish you were here!

Today marks 10 years since you left us still feels like yesterday the memory is so vivid I remember every emotion I felt that day and every emotion I felt after. Time has not healed the wound and has not made it easier to say goodbye. I still find myself talking to you. I can still hear your voice and your laugh...that brings me peace. Everytime I hear Kid Rock or Lynyrd Skynyrd on the radio I sing it for you! I think about all the memories we shared all the times we laughed. I hold those...

Hi Friend.

I miss you all of the time. Today is difficult. Brandy and I are spending the day doing some of your fav things. It would be better if you were here to do them with us. 10 years is hard to believe, some days it still feels like yesterday and other days- it feels like every bit of 10 years. You are loved and missed by so many. Proud to have known you. Visit in a dream soon. Xo Love you DG!

David, my dearest first born child. It's been ten years since you left this world, but never our hearts. In many ways it seems like it's been forever, yet in many ways it sometimes feels like it was yesterday. I will never, ever, ever stop loving you and thinking of what you might have been; but I do know who you were ... loved by many and by God. It doesn't get much better than that!

Love you, mom!

Thinking of you once again, missing you once again, wanting to hug you and hold you close once again ... Oh just for one more minute with you.

Love, Mom

Found a CD that Becca Franklin Wood made for me when you were killed. You know me and music ... it helped to help me grieve and to begin bringing me back to life. Your dad has dreams of you, Jon Daniel has dreams of you and many of your friends tell me they do too. I pray that God will give me a vision of you if it be his will.

Still miss you but it's gotten easier to bear. But still, sometimes out of the blue, a thought of you will pop in my mind and the tears will flow. ...

David,

I was thinking about you at work tonight. I thought about the fun times he had in HR in 9th grade :) good times....
