In Loving Memory of David Beaulieu August 12, 1958 - March 26, 1998
As the many stars that twinkle
throughout the heavens above;
You will forever be a bright reminder
Of what it truly means to love.
You are dearly missed and greatly loved...
Love from Tina's mom, Linda

For David
How can I tell you how much you are missed?
What words can I use to explain all of this?
The feelings I have lie deep in my heart.
Ever since the day we had to part.
How can I tell you how much you are loved?
Do you hear my sighs, do they reach you above?
The tears still flow freely after 9 years.
Does time ever erase the mountain of tears?
I love you my first born son with all my heart.
My life has never been the same since we had to part.
I continue to live because it's God's will that I do.
But I will never be whole again without you.
I will hear your laugh and see your smile again.
It's not yet time for me to know when.
Until than my child, I send you all my love.
Til we meet again in heaven above.
Angel Hugs, Mom
With Love for David
Forever Loved and Remembered
Always in Our Hearts
Love

David Did You Know?
David did you know?
that Jesus died for you because He loved you so.
When He came and took your hand,
Did you know Heaven would be so grand?
David did you know?
the streets of Heaven are paved with gold.
Blue waters shine so crystal clear,
And in Heaven it's said there is no fear.
Have you met Christopher, Laura, and Kellie?
Jason, Tina, Bob and Shelly?
Their mom's are all friends of mine,
So caring, loving, compassionate and kind.
It's been 9 years since you left us that pain-filled day,
There was so much more that I wanted to say.
I love you and miss you with all of my heart,
My life has been broken since we had to part.
David did you know?
A piece of my heart went with you that day.
God will replace it and make me whole,
The day I get to walk with you on streets of gold.
It won't be long now dear child of mine,
When we'll be together in God's precious time.
David do you know?
My God I love and miss you so!!
"Mom"
My David was a wonderful son, my oldest of four children. He never gave us any problems growing up and was always close to his mom. He joined the Navy at 19 yrs. old and got married shortly after. He was away from home for as many yrs. as he lived home. His career in the Navy was flying in a P3 Orion anti-submarine warefare plane, searching for Russian subs or any other threats over American waters and 6 mos. of every year over the Gulf Coast during the Gulf War. Most of our contact was letters and phone calls. He would try to get home at least once a year but one time it was 3 years we didn't see him. All of a sudden after 14 yrs. in the Navy he told us he was leaving. It really didn't make sense to us as he always said he wanted to retire from the service but we didn't question his reasons.
David took a job that took him to Hawaii for 3 years. One day he called and said he was packing up, quitting his job, and coming home with his wife. He arrived home a day before our 40th anniversary and planned a big party for us that weekend. He opened his own business, and it was so good to have him home again. Than he fell on a slippery floor and hurt his back and had to have surgery. He was never the same again. He was in so much pain he couldn't sit or stand for any length of time and he had to give up all the things he loved to do like fishing and hunting and even working. Thank God his wife had a federal job and was able to support them, but I know that really upset him.
"Our Family" ~
Glen, David, Norman, Joyce, Patricia and Maryanne.
One night after going to bed we were awoken by a phone call from my daughter Patricia telling us that David had been rushed to the hospital and we should get right over there. He was living only about 3 streets from the hospital or I don't think he would of made it there alive. We were told he had a massive brain anuerysm and they had to operate immediately and didn't know if he would make it thru the surgery. It seems he had a cluster of blood vessels in his brain probably since birth and they finally just blew. The Dr. had to remove so much of his brain in that area to stop the bleeding that if he lived he would be blind, on a respirator, unable to talk, or speak, and would not know us. They did two more surgeries to release the pressure building in his brain. It was like a roller coaster ride, because one Dr. would tell us there was no hope and another would say "don't give up". Finally after a week we were told we had to either remove our precious son from life support or move him to a nursing home. Since he was in such a dangerous job in the Navy he had always told us and his wife if anything happened he did not want to live a live on a recusitator and to let him go. It was the most difficult decision of our lives as I'm sure many of you know. But on the morning of March 26, 1998 (yes it will be 9 years very soon) we all said our individual good byes and than my daughter-in-law Cynthia and I went in with David to be with him after they removed the life support. I will never forget standing there crying, begging my son to die. Telling him to go to God because I knew what awaited him here in this life and I couldn't bear seeing him that way. You see he wasn't quite brain dead but all the parts that were important to him living a normal life were gone. It only took about 5 min. and he was gone.
I will never forget that day or all the things I wanted to say and do and didn't because I was in shock. But we can't go back to the "what if's" and "if only's" because we can't change anything. David lived and I thank God for my precious son. He was 39 years old. So many times I wish he and Cindy had had children so I would have a part of him still but they never did. As his heaven anniversary day nears, my heart cries every day for all the years we have lost, but my spirit thanks God for years we had together and the love we shared and will share again one day.
MY ANGEL DAY
Today is my Angel Day
Nine years since death has taken me away
Seems like I was with you only yesterday
I know how much pain and sorrow
My death has brought to you
But Mom and Dad
I am always with you
God blessed me letting me be your son
If I had to rate you both as being parents
You would be at the top as number one
Yes it is my Angel Day
I see your tears as they fall away
But we shall be together come one day
Your memories of me
Keeps me alive within your hearts
Death cannot keep us apart
Until we are together again
One thing I'd like for you to do
Always remember I Love You too

To Joyce and ANGEL David
Time keeps passing by
But you are still here with me
In my Thoughts and Heart Always
Where else would You Be
Listen to me Mom
I am just away for awhile
I promise we will see each other again
Until then please keep showing me that smile
I have to believe you haven't left me Son
You are just beyond that Crest
One thing I will always know
GOD only takes the Best

I have you close to my heart on this very sad day of memories
In Memory of Your Beloved Son David
He is eternal and is not gone, but only changed
Our loved ones are but one breath away from those that love them
And the Lord has so arranged that we'll be reunited once again
With My Love and Prayers
Ann,
Laurasmom
