David Pell - RIP
by sarahpell @ 28. Aug. 2008. - 21:21:02

I am dreadfully sad and sorry to have to announce to you all that David has sadly and suddenly, today, 28th August 2008, lost his battle with cancer. 

David was the most kind, generous and loving man I have ever met and inspired me to do many things that otherwise might never have been possible.  I cannot even begin to explain to any of you out there how special David was and how profoundly grateful that I am to have shared 11 years of my life with him. 

David, left behind many people who will be hurting immensely, but amongst those who will be suffering in particular today are his Brother, Martin, his Sister, Sheila, his Daughter, Natalie, his Son, Darren and his various nephews and nieces.  This list is totally unexhaustive as I am sure there are many other people too numerous and no less important to mention.  At the point of writing this email, David's mother is yet to be told, being also in hospital.  I hope she will have strength to absorb this news and the power of Will to understand this devastating loss.

David, may you rest comfortably and peacefully and never feel pain again.  I love you totally and dearly - you were my entire life.  I have no idea who I am without you, only that I am now a lesser person.  Your ever loving wife, Sarah xxxxxx

If I could have a lifetime wish a dream that would come true.
I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears because I've cried and cried.
You left behind my broken heart and happy memories too.
But it's not the memories that were wanted, it was, just simply you.

Sarah,
I saw this and thought of you. You have been so strong for David during his battle with cancer, please try to take some time to look after yourself. Michelle xx

I am so sorry to learn of David's untimely passing. David and I used to worked together at Bright Richards & Flewitt many many years ago and shared the same birthday. My thoughts are with you.

Sarah,
I'm not sure what to say other than I am so so sorry for your loss- David was such a warm and generous man and I have many happy memories of times at Horseball that David features heavily in.
I'm sure his death will leave a huge gap in so many people's lives.

What makes your response so precious is the fact that you have taken the time to read David's blog and leave me messages of support. It renews my faith in people. Thank you.

For my brother David:

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. Each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. 'Lord you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.'
The Lord replied, 'my precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.'

Sarah~ I am so sorry to read that David, after a most courageous battle, lost his life to cancer. I came across your blog by accident today and found myself, rather than clicking out of it, reading every word and feeling the emotions of both David and yourself. My family had a recent cancer scare with my younger sister- thankfully it turned out to be nothing more than a piece of fungal matter in her lungs- but ever since that scare I find myself sympathizing with those who are diagnosed and wanting to reach out to both them and their family members. I hope you do not mind my reaching out to you, but wanted you to know that you are in my prayers and to offer a reminder that David is now a beautiful angel saving a place for you both to share in The Kingdom of Heaven. Take care of yourself Sarah, and God Bless. Your friend across the pond....Jennifer

Thank you Jennifer, it does mean a lot when anyone takes the time to read about the ordeal we have faced. Even now when I read what we have written about it reduces me back to tears again.

I hate what cancer has done to my life and how much pain it put David through and more than anything, I hate the fact that David has gone from my life and only continues to live on in my memories.

I am pleased that your sister wasn't diagnosed with cancer and I sincerely hope that she recovers well and enjoys good health once more.

Whilst I am not happy about what has happened to David, I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to have shared 11 and a half years with such a wonderful and caring man. All of the years we spent together were truely amazing. We loved, we laughed and enjoyed being together. I hope you and your family can enjoy these things too.

Sarah

I was very sorry to hear of David's demise. I worked with him many years ago at Wells & Hind. My only memories are of a very kind and friendly person.
