~ Suicide ~

You broke our hearts the day you left
Never said ‘good-bye,’ never said ‘I’m leaving’
And only you know the answer why
No note was left only tears and grieving

The demons and heartaches you carried
Must have attacked you for many a year
They were known only by you and our Savior
Your death seems surreal and severe

In your life you were loved so dearly
In death we will love you still
A ‘Catholic celebrity’ known by many
Whose hearts will no longer be filled

Many thanks for the years that you gave us
Six people miss and love you so much
A soft spoken voice and a giggle just yours
We pray peace and God’s loving touch


In Loving Memory of David Thorp,  January 9, 2011

Owl and JerryPat ...

a dreadfully sad day. He was such a wonderful friend of 32 years and he will be missed by so many. His wife and 3 children are beyond devastated.

faithmairee, thank you so much for you kind words of sympathy. David was a man of great faith, passion and calm. No one understands what happened.

I have had just this very experience over the Holiday, except it was an uncle, on Christmas eve. I would never be able to write about it, especially not this well. I'm sorry to hear this about your friend.

Special and loving thanks to all who posted notes regarding David's passing. It is still so raw and not sure when the sorrow will abide. I have spoken to his wife several times and she feels she is having an out of body experience and desite knowing it happened but still can't believe it!

hugs to you all, Marti
