I can relate exactly to the emotion you are feeling at this moment Fireman, and my heart goes out to you. You and Dave have the same bond between you as I had and possibly still have with a pal who crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago (his name is Dave too), there was a song we used to listen to with such lovely lyrics that seem to speak directly to the heart, they seem to be telling the listener to let out the sadness and look towards the future with the memories of the good times. I have clipped the lyrics to this message for you as they say it all.

CARRY ME By Chris De Burgh.

There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;

There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory
And begin to make the shadows disappear;

Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;
