[RC] Re [RC] Arrangements for David Lewis - Dana B.Samantha and David sound like lovely people, and my heart goes out to the family and they will most certainly be in my prayers. I have been looking for word of a trust fund for their children, but haven't been able to find any information. Do any of you know of such a fund for David and Samantha's children?

There are not enough words to express what my family and= I are feeling. I was very fortunate to receive a letter from= David. The letter was written while he was trapped underground.= It is a beautiful love letter that I am very grateful for and= will cherish the rest of my life. David has touched many people= in his brief time on this earth and even though he is no longer= here in body, he will continue to be with us in spirit. I= personally could not think of anyone I would prefer to have= watching over us. Please know that David has given me and the= children enough love, courage and faith to endure during these= difficult times. We have a long journey ahead of us and it is= comforting to know that we have friends and family that love us= dearly and are praying for us. I was asked if I wondered why= this happened to us; I can honesty say that I am not wondering= "why" and I am not angry with God. We should not question His= plan for us and simply live our lives to the fullest making sure= the people we love know we love them.

Please continue to pray for our family as well as the= families of the other miners. David would want us to remember= him with only the fondest of memories and find a way to continue= living our lives. If I can only offer one piece of advise and= that is to make the most of every day with your life and family.= Tell the people you love how much you love them, remember that= life is fragile and can slip away so quickly. I take great= solace in that every morning as David was leaving for work and= before he put his boots on to leave, he would make a special= trip down the hall to kiss me goodbye and tell me he loved= me....Monday morning was no different.
