Message From David

Dear Blog Readers,
It is hard for me to put into words what the interest and concern from each of you has meant to Sheri and to me. There was such meaning and support expressed to us with every entry. We read comments from so many people - close friends and those who we didn't really know very well - and it strengthened us. This blog allowed family and friends to participate in this journey and be inspired by Sheri's strength, but at a comfortable distance.
Have you ever cried so much that your eyes are just dry? Well, that's how I have felt sometimes over the past few months. My emotions were so raw at times that I couldn't always read the blog, but every time I did, I drew strength from you. Thank you all for your love and support.
Sincerely,
David Faught

In the tender parts of your hearts I pray for the peace our brother said we can have.
We have watched your strength knowing that in the quiet times alone you have felt so helpless. But never giving up hope for a miracle.
We, Carl and I have prayed to know how to help, how to fix it, as we never want to watch someone we love suffer & hurt.
Every morning I drive by to work I want to come over and stay and help.
Nothing is more important than family...family next door or family at church. The love and support we all need, especially at times like this.
I think of the aching you are now feeling and my heart aches with yours.
To know that her aching is over I am sure that gives you great peace..even tho the loneliness is great.
All this makes me really value friendship,brotherhood and sisterhood.
Never has someone shared their road of struggle with me in such a personal way, to carry my heart with her daily, thru it all! I will never be the same. Thank you Sheri!

David, we love you. Alex you are a beautiful reflection of your Mother, Hadley you make your Mother proud, you are a good example and Logan as you struggle thru all this, remember your Mother's strength, you have it in you, she gave it to you....
Peace will come, pray for it, and our hearts are just right next door when you need them.
Love Carl & Leslie

David,
Mary has been in touch with Alex and has kept us updated regarding Sheri.

David and Family.
I don't know if you will come back and read any of the blogs. But maybe after a while you will. You might give some thought to printiing out all the blogs, and put in a book, so that in the future your grandchildren can get to know what a very special lady their Gma Sheri was. My heart is so very heavy that i have not been able to come back and see you. It was such a wonderful part of my life to be able to talk to Sheri. Every time i blog her we tried to lift her up a little and instead she was lifting me up and all her friends. I think this is what she intended. Years ago i would look out my back window befor all the stuff was there and before i would go to bed i would ask God to look after Doyle and Sheryl and lessen his pain. In the last six months before i would go to bed i look out the window and could see a little part of your house and i would ask God to be with your family and give Sheri a good nite and to lessen her pain. Now i ask God to give you peace knowing your dearest love is without pain. She will live in yours and the childern hearts forever and she will be in my memory forever. I will never forget her beautiful smile and what a special person she was. she will always be in my memory right there with Dayna. we are just down the road, and will help in any way.
Love to all of you and Gods peace.
Frenchy and Carol

Dear David,

So sorry for your loss. Was bored and googled my name just to see and found your family's blog. I am also LDS (convert for 20 years). I wonder if our lines meet somewhere. Drop me a note, if you like.

Best,
David Faught
