Loving Memory of Our Two Sons

Together
Forever
People imagine that death cruelly
separates us from our loved ones. Even pious people are led to believe this great and sad mistake.
This is in error for when our loved ones die they do not leave
us. They simply shed the outer shell of this world and their
soul remains. They do not go to some dark and distant place.
They simply begin their life in eternity. We can not see them because we are still in the darkness of
this earthly world. But their spiritual eyes, filled with the light of
Heaven, are always watching us as they wait for the day when we will join them in
their perfect joy. We were created by our Father in
Heaven, and one by one we will leave this life of tears to begin our life in
happiness at his side. Reflecting
on this beautiful truth, I have found it the greatest comfort in times of mourning.
A firm faith in the real and continual presence of our loved ones has brought
the conviction and consolation that death has not destroyed them nor carried
them away. Rather it has given them life! A life with power to know
and to love perfectly. With this new life and new power our loved ones are
always present to us, knowing us and loving us more than ever before. The tears
we weep in mourning, are tears of homesickness, tears of longing for our loved
ones. But it is we who are away from home not they. Death has
set them free and they have been allowed to travel through that
distant doorway to their eternal home. And only because this heavenly home is invisible to our worldly eyes, we cannot see them so near
us. Yet, they are with us, lovingly and tenderly waiting for the day when we too
will pass through the same doorway to our eternal home. No,
death is not a separation, instead it's a preparation for eternal union
with those we love, in the peace and joy of our Fathers house. Saying
Goodbye
When a parent has to bury their child they experience one of the most heartbreaking events of their life. Especially when
that child is taken through an act of violence or a violent accident, as is the case of our two sons.
Our oldest son, Bobby, was killed in a head-on collision with another vehicle and our second son, David, was run over by a member of his work crew on a highway in Texas by accident. Neither death was
foreseen and the shock of losing our sons left an empty space in our heart that will never be filled again.
The similarities of our two sons deaths lead one to believe that "Yes" there is, indeed, a higher power controlling our lives. (For those of you who still have DOUBTS after reading about my sons, be advised that all statistics are documented and can be proven). I, myself, am not a very religious person but after putting all the facts together after my sons deaths I have to accept the fact that God had to have a hand in
the life and death of our sons,... there is no other explanation for it:
* Both boys died
violently in a vehicle accident.
* Bobby died in 1989,..... David died in 1999,...just 10 years
apart.
* Both boys left one
child,...
Bobby's son, Greg was 12 years old,
David's daughter, Christina, was 12 years old.
* Both children who were left behind were born in the month of December.
* Bobby died four months after his Birthday in May,
David died four months after his Birthday in February.
* Bobby died the same month of his wedding anniversary (Sept),
David died the same month of his wedding anniversary (June).
* Both
boys died 2 days before their wedding anniversary.
* Bobby's ex-wife attended his funeral,....David's ex-wife attended his funeral.
(In both cases neither Bobby nor David had seen their ex-wife for several
years.)
* Both Bobby and David received severe trauma to the face and head and had
to have closed casket services.
* Both boys were cremated
according to their wishes.
* According to the coroners reports :
Bobby died at 12:30am on the 19th of September.
David died at 12:30am on the 19th of June.
* Both boys memorial
services were held on a Thursday.
* Bobby died on the first day of the week,.....David died on the last day of the
week.
There is not a day that goes by where we do not recall a smile, a laugh, a silly antic, or just simply the deep love we felt for our sons. The pain lessens a little each day but the
great sense of loss and the wonderful memories of two laughing, carefree boys who lived life with such zest
and reckless abandonment will
remain with us forever.
This site is for you, boys, with
all our love forever.
We miss you both!
