Good evening, Dave. The day was full of a lot of football action and I watched some of it but then I surfed the tv channels and discovered a program on ESPN titled, "The Way It Was.", with Curt Gowdy as the host. I happened to catch the beginning of the Heavyweight Champion fights (2) between Jersey Joe Walcott and Joe Louis way back in 1947-1948. Jersey Joe, Joe Louis and longtime boxing announcer Don Dunphy were guests on the program. What fights they were. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better the next "The Way It Was" featured the three fights between Middleweights Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano in 1948. Geez, those guys were tough. I forgot all about football. What I didn't forget was you. Here I was watching these tough SOB's duking it out and I was thinking about you at the same time. You are pretty darn tough as well and you have been putting up one h*ll of a fight for more than 15 rounds. Keep up the good fight. There are alot of folks in your corner who are rooting for you. As with all fighters, Dave, you are going to have to get some good rest, watch your diet and not stay out until the early hours of the morning gallivanting all over town.
I hope that is evening see's you in good spirits and that you will do your best to eat well, rest well and sleep well. Get up and move about, if you feel like it. Take care now. Pass on my best to all those who care for you.
Good night from South Florida. I'll come bye tomorrow to say hello.

===========================

As many of you have heard me say, GOD won't put more on us then we can handle, but this one is making me wonder. I loved that gal like a neice, good woman and mother and wife.

Darn it, Dave, that wasn't the news I was ready to hear. Certainly my prayers and well wishes will be directed toward Jennifer Kay Blaylock and family. What a pizzer. Can't say much else. Still, this is a new day, a new sunrise, a new breath. Do the best that you can and pass on my sincerest sympathies to one and all during this time of mourning.

Good Sunday Morning Dave, Sorry to hear that bad news for your family and her kids.
We can never understand why things like this happen but we do know that GOD is still on the thrown and I believe he is in control of everything. Someday we will understand but until then we just need to believe and put our trust in him.
Karen and my prayers will be out to you and the family.
I hope you are having as good of a day as possible and remember we all love you so much. You are our Marine brother forever.
Once A Marine, Always A Marine, Once Dave's Friend, Always Dave's Friend

Thoughts and prayers out to Jennifer Kay and the rest of your family Dave at this trying time!

After They Are Gone


When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.


Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.


Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

Semper Fi!
