IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVID
He has a younger sister and a mommy and daddy who miss him terribly. On his grave marker are the words: "Families Are Forever". I believe that with all my heart. We will be reunited with our little guy in the eternities,
of this I am sure.
David loved: caterpillars, Disney cartoons, chocolate milk and his baby sister.
He loved to sing and dance and go to preschool.
He was gentle and sweet and the sunshine in my life.
He lives on in Heaven where he waits for us patiently
I will run with open arms to meet him when the day comes for us to be reunited.
FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER
DAVID JAMES
NOV. 28, 1986 TO APR. 30, 1992
Reminescing:
When I was coherent enough to ask about David's last moments before the car accident, I was told this by his grandmother:
(David had found a caterpillar in our back yard and was taking it with him to grandma's to spend the night) Just before grandma made the disasterous left turn that resulted in the accident,
David asked her: "Grandma, will we be stopping at the store before we get to your house?" She told him, no, that they were going straight to her house.
His reply was: "Oh, good, because it is hot and I don't want the caterpillar to get thirsty." Late April in southern Arizona often finds temperatures in the high 90's.
David was concerned about his caterpillar. Just one small example of how sweet and gentle our little boy was. What a blessing he was in our home!
David 
How do I say good-bye
When I can't let you go?
You're gone, life goes on
And I'm hurting so.
My eyes ache from unshed tears
That I can not cry.
My mind refuses to believe
That you had to die.
People say that they think
I am doing fine;
They can't see how I weep
Inside this heart of mine.
In my thoughts you'll always
Be my little boy,
The sunshine of my life,
My pride, my joy
I can't say good-bye--
But until we meet once more,
I'll hold you close in my heart.
You're my treasure
At Heaven's door.

This was one of David's favorite Children's Primary Songs: "Families Can Be Together Forever"
I have a family here on earth
They are so good to me
I want to share my life with them through all eternity
Families Can Be Together Forever
Through Heavenly Father's Plan
I always want to be with my own family
And the Lord has shown me how I can,
The Lord has shown me how I can
