How crazy is it that this would be our 7th wedding anniversary?! It doesn't feel like it's been that long. At the same time, it feels so like it's been ages.
This August, a month before the 7 year anniversary, I'm remarrying. I'm having a lot of guilt with this because I'm happy again. Happiest I've been since we got married and I didn't know that was possible.
I'll have you in my heart forever. FOREVER. I'm not replacing you but moving forward with this new chapter in life and the other gals that'll be there, we're remembering all of you guys. Please be with me and know that no matter what mistakes were made, because Lord knows there were plenty, that you're life was important and I will make sure that people will always know what an amazing man and HERO you are!
I hope you're at peace. I really do.

I'm going to speak in front of Senator Patty Murray next week David. No one should be treated or mistreated the way you were or the way that many of our returning heroes are being treated. Please know that you ARE a hero to so many and will never be anything but a true American hero!
Also, please continue to look after your folks and sister. Even with your dad not working, they need your daily love and support. 5.5 years later, less than a month before 6 years, I still love and miss you. Thank you for being my hero.

It's amazing the people that come out of the word works after you are no longer here. Or the ones that were your friends but disappeared after you died.
I truly hope you are watching over your family during this holiday season. I know they need it.
Lots of love, me

Today marks 5 years since you left us...everyone that you had ever touched their lives, your family, friends...me.
Things weren't how they should've been and the 'what ifs' can tear one apart, even 5 years later. Only you knew what you were doing and now I pray daily that you are at peace.
I have you remembered every year at a ceremony for fallen heroes. Not as your wife, because there's many things I could've done differently, as we all know but as someone who truly knew what an amazing man, soldier, son, brother, uncle, husband and friend you were.
Time passes and the wounds do not heal. Still seems like it was yesterday. I ask that you continue to look over your family and that next year, I can formally invite your family to our event so they can be presented with your awards, for the HERO that you are.
Always in my thoughts, G.

David,
Today I talked about you for the first time in a long time. The last time I really talked about you was with David W. when I found out about what happened. It was so hard for me to talk about you today. I got chocked up and had to gather myself to finish. I really miss you. You were so down to earth and the realest person I have ever known. I miss hanging out with you and Davd W., playing pool and driving down Ruston Way. Bottom line, I love you bro and your are truly missed. May you forever be a guiding angel!

David was a very good "Soldier" he loved the Army and his job that he had in the Army. Every "Soldier" goes through hard times, but they all stay ture to the Army. I was with SP/4 David J. Ramsey during the last two weeks of his life and he never said a bad word towards the Army or his job in the Army. To keep this short, David dieded from a broken heart. And all his so called friends that think it was PTSD or any thing else are not his true friend.

Happy Birthday David, "30" Years Old. I know that this June 2, 1979 as you always called it -
"This Day is a Federal Holiday". Your spirit is always with us and our son and father relationship will always continue until we meet again.
Rest Young Man
