His character
His integrity
His commitment
To the ones he loved
Recognizing his wonderful heart
Sense of humor
And the helping hand he so often extended to others
We remember his life today
His gifts
All that he enjoyed and found rewarding
His beginnings
His journey
And the wonderful stories we love to share about him.
We celebrate David’s life today
And all that earned him the love and admiration of so many
His time with us was much too short, but we feel enriched for
Knowing him
We are blessed to have his remarkable spirit here among us forever
David means beloved in Hebrew and he was and will be forever and a day
We miss David –his pain is gone as he strolls thru the valleys of heaven but ours is just beginning.
I pray that memories of him will bring strength to all who love him.
This is the prayer being said for him morning and night by the Israeli General
who purchased and sent the Kabballa red string bracelet for David. He wore it on his left wrist
after it was placed there by Sammie. Being fluent in Hebrew, David said the prayer that is said
when the bracelet is put on. When David had passed, Sammie placed the bracelet on her wrist as is the custom.
I said the prayer for her by phone. I hope it can bring her peace as she gave David a loving and peaceful crossing.

Translation:
Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world
which He has created according to His will.
May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days,
and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon;
and say, Amen.
May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored,
adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He,
beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that
are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in His celestial heights,
may He create peace for us and for all Israel;
and say, Amen.
