Please say a prayer for Dave and his family

David Shaw, husband to Dawn, sister of Renee, a best friend, a sister to Richelle and me, passed away suddenly from a heart attack this Saturday. He was only forty. He leaves behind his wife, and three wonderful children, Kylie (9), Dylan (7) and Wyatt (5).

Dave went to the hospital Friday night, doctors said they thought it was indigestion, this after five hours in the waiting room. The next day he went to work. An ambulance was called. He walked to it. Told his co-workers he’d see them later. He died in that ambulance.

If you’ve noticed a little strangeness on my behalf these past couple days – apologies. This has been in the back of my mind since I first heard. I know there are no rules that say life is fair – but this isn’t and my heart aches for their family.

  1. I just said a prayer for him and his family.

    People life is too short. We’re only here for a little while. Make the most of everyday, and tell those you care about that you love them.

    Peace

  2. Karl, I didn’t realize till after I posted yesterday that it was renee’s sister’s husband. OMG, you make sure you let her know that my deepest sympathies are with her family during this time of pain.

    Thanks.
