From: Mary Borden Hurel
My Friend may you rest in peace. I will never forget the stories you have shared with me when I needed a friend to just listen. Anytime I called you always had time for me. Country and Western movies just won’t be the same without you buddy.
Goodbye my Friend
The Shadows that lie beneath thee were the angels who were calling me home to a place everyone wants to be.
The lights are bright the walkway is gold for everyone to see.
This is the way to heaven where God sets you free.
Please don’t cry for me.
It was time for you to give your last breath. Now its time for you to close your eyes and take a rest.
I lay my hand on your chest,
Knowing you fought hard giving it your best.
There comes a time we all have to say goodbye we know they are forever.
It’s something we never want to endeavour.
The love you share with your family cannot be severed.
Life will be different without you,
Known as the camp man who lives way back in the woods was your debut.
You were known to hunt and fish anything and that we knew was true.
This is a farewell from the Sunnyville Crew.
That is a really nice condolence
Rest In Peace Dave. Thank you for always helping back in the day. I’ll never forget your kindness to me.
