My angel David
My David truly is an angel. He was pronounced dead at 2:24 am EST. he fought a glorious battle and touched many lives in the process. I am so thankful that God spared his mind at the end and he got to say all of his good byes. I will miss him, but he has helped me in so many ways. Just as each of you has helped me. God sent me to this site because he knew I would need your support and lots of prayer to get me through. I am proud to be part of this forum. i hate baring bad news but am so glad I have someone to share with. Cancer is a terrible beast. It strips us of so much, but thankfully there is power in numbers and prayer. I love you: Billie, Phrannie, Matt, Rick, John, Joan, Kris, Kari, dittos, Jan, Tim, Rachel and so many more of you that my grief and shear exhaustion make me forget names.

Dear Vivian!
I thought and prayed every day... You came to this forum last year and I thought David and my Dad will have similar batlle. But with additional cancer for David our stories changed... Your warmth and love changed all of us, both of you have learned us so much. What is true love and tru commitment!
Thank God that David left in peace! And I also thank God at the same time that it set you both free. Especially you who will have to go on with your life. Beside the sadness and grief you feel right now you will also feel freedom and peace. With wonderful memories of you and David you will find strength to rebuild your life! I'm sure of that! No more pain, no more suffer. Spring will come on your way!
I'm also sending you hugs and giving you my virtual hand. Be blessed! Rest in peace dear David!

My heartfelt sympathies
Vivian;
My heart has been in your and David's fight for so long. I've read your posts and sought to bring help to you via prayer and through this forum, it is both sad and joyful that David's pain has come to an end. He is with God now, he has no more pain, no more disability, he has been restored to the glory of his soul.
I know that you will grieve for a long time, a love like your's and David's is uncommon.
When my father passed so many years ago, one of my relatives told me that he was not really gone, but that I just wasn't going to see him for a while. So it is with David, he will never be gone as long as we hold him in our hearts and memories.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, David and the family.

Your sadness is my sadness. Thnking of you.

I pray for comfort
For yoa knowing that David is now at peace and able to watch over you. You are very so strong and showed us that true love comes not in time but in daily expressions. You gave so much to David as I know he gave to you. Know that you can come here anytime and we will always be here for you. I am so very sorry and sad. I wish I could give you a big hug and let you know that you are not alone. You have David above and CSN scattered in cyberspace around you.

Vivian,
My heart hurts for
Vivian,
My heart hurts for you, yet rejoices for David. He was taken by Jesus and bought home to the Lord, he is finally without pain and struggle. God granted you peace and a vehicle to deal with your grief with this site. I wish I was local I would be there with you, but for now I aam hear hugging you in spirit. May you have comfort in knowing your Angel is never gone, he is right beside you.
May God grant you peace and love. Rest in peace sweet David
All my heart,

Oh Vivian
So so sorry that you now have a loving angel named David. You both fought the good fight, but now his battle on earth is over. May you find a way to go on knowing that you were the best ever caregiver and wife that David could have had.
I think we are all posting through our tears today.
Rest in Peace, dear David.

Love you too...
Vivian,
I am so sorry that David is gone from this world, I imagine he's sitting with God telling him all about this awesome girl he met and married, and how she was his angel on earth. I also believe that David's love will always reach you, and surround you.
We love you too, and are here for you.

Words Are Hard...
Nothing that I can say will take your pain away at the moment..., or the pain that I feel. I hate this part of our relationships here...
David was a fighter, he brought it, he will be missed by many.
Waiting to hear the bell today, I know an angel is about to get his wings...
Prayers,
John

My condolences for you
Viv, David was a brave warrior, who stood up to the beast and fought hard. As my heart aches for you as I write this, I know David is in peace in a better place.
Respectfully

I am in awe of you
Vivian,
I've followed your threads for the last month or so and, having nothing to add but my prayers (which were sent) I did not feel the need to post all that often. But now I wanted you to know how amazing (in my opinion) you have been throughout your ordeal. Through all the of your trials and tribulations you did what was best for your David; often at the expense of yourself. I could not ask for a better caregiver and I wanted you to know that your friends here, all would applaud you.
You of course have my deepest, most sincere condolences. David is a peace and now you can rest.

I wish I could be there with you now to hug you and hold you. It is my hope and my prayer that the love you and David have for each other will give you the comfort you need.
You are right, David truly is your angel now and you will feel his presence all around you.
You will be rewarded for all of the extra special care you gave to David, God has special plans for you, I feel it.
I'm sad for you that David is not here physically any longer but I am so happy that he no longer has to suffer. I hope that gives you some comfort too.
Sending love,
Billie0 -
