Oh my gosh! I am not with it! I missed this by a day!
Our thoughts are with Dave and his family.

I'm so sorry I didn't look this up earlier. I guess I was sort of shell shocked. Here's a link where you can leave a condolence message:
Hamilton's Funeral Home
Yes, according to his Jewish faith, he will be buried tomorrow. He had arranged this when he found out how ill he was. I believe the burial will be in Mt. Vernon but I'm not sure about the specifics.
My mom has always said, "When we are gone, we are gone forever."
sorry to disagree with your Mom, Susan, but I have found that is just not the case. Those I've loved the most who have gone to the other side are often with me, not only in my thoughts, but in some of the most unexpected ways. You just cannot touch them.
The last time I was with my Dad was three weeks before he passed. One day as I was walking into the living room to bring him a snack, I heard him talking to someone. He was not on the phone, so I asked him if there was someone in the room. He said yes, Nate and Lill (his brother and sister who had each passed many years before), can't you see them? They are right over there.
I had heard from close friends, and read of folks speaking of seeing departed loved ones shortly before their death, so I gently left the room and let him continue. I felt pretty certain that I was seeing him that weekend for the last time.
My point is, if Nate and Lill were gone forever, how could they have come to escort Daddy home?
