Beloved

Brevity perhaps was his destiny Eternity his true fate of time Leaving so many wounded in disbelief Only one child were to carry on his legacy Veiled to walk down the isle alone Endlessly searching for her father David my only brother, taken too soon (David means Beloved, it was my brother and father's names) January 12, 2020 What's in a name Contest Sponsored by Juliet Ligon

These two men of like name were clearly very beloved by you. Your words are a testament to the place they held in your life and the memories left behind. Alas, gone too soon. Tearful hugs to you, my friend ~ John

Thank you Line. It was originally in third place but sadly I guess people complained to her about their placements and she changed everyone to first place :(. Hugs

Hello There

Sounds like he was truly beloved...An early passing is always difficult to come to terms with, especially when there are children involved. Hugs, my friend...

he was the only boy...my mom passed before him but he passed before our father...his daughter took a trip to italy as it was something her and my brother planned to do and she left pictures and stuff of him there on a mountain ...she took his death hard... thank you... hugs

Sorry to hear about the loss of your brother...mine was 49 and 1 day when he passed away... his daughter had literally just graduated and was set to go to college...she did so and has succeeded in many aspects of life, despite losing him so young... hugs and prayers to you
