Wow!
We just lost a feisty FReeper!
RIP Dave.
Thank you for the report.
Thank you, Amy, for sharing this.
Dave would have loved the Patriot Guard there to honor him and his service.
Class of 98... It was a good year.
RIP, Diver Dave.
Thank you for your service.
Thanks for sharing the pictures Amy... Diver Dave will be missed.
And thanks again to Dave for serving this great country!
Thanks for the thread Amy and sharing the sad news. Dave was a kind and good man. Much has been said so accurately by others, but those two words stand out in my mind.
Thanks for sharing these pictures of the celebration of a hero’s life with all of us.
I would expect nothing less for this navy man and the PGR know how to do it right!
Oh, Amy, thank you so much for bringing us all with you to join in the celebration of Dave’s life, with the video, music and pictures.
My heart joined you (and friends and family), even though I could not be with you.
Dave’s devoted love of his family and of Christ, his patriotism, his intense support of our Veterans, his consistent sense of humor through all life’s rough journeys, and that constant smile will be missed by all who knew him.
(((((Blessings, and Thank you for Sharing)))))
Wish I could have attended.
What a great send-off for a loyal veteran. God knows His own.
Wow, Thank you Amy for doing this.
I feel like I was able to say goodbye to a FRiend
Taps did it for me. Thank you
Beautiful ceremony for Dave. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I wish I could thank every one of those Patriot Guards who honored Dave.
May God’s love and comfort surround the family.
Thanks Amy. My condolences to his friends and family. He was special.
RIP, Diver Dave, and our prayers are with your family.
O God of spirits and of all flesh,
You have trampled down death
and have abolished
the power of the devil,
giving life to Your world.
Give rest to the soul
of Your departed servant David
in a place of light,
in a place of repose,
in a place of refreshment,
where there is no pain,
sorrow, and suffering.
As a good and loving God,
forgive every sin he has committed
in thought, word or deed,
for there is no one who lives
and is sinless.
You alone are without sin.
Your righteousness
is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your word is truth.
For You are the resurrection,
the life
and the repose of Your departed servant David
Christ our God,
and to You we give glory,
with Your eternal Father
and Your all holy,
good and life-giving Spirit,
now and forever and to the ages of ages.
AMEN.
Rest in Peace, fellow Freeper.
