David Leroy Van Meter "Minneapolis 45"

That name and number will forever be in my heart.
I loved you then and I love you still, I will always love you.
On the week set aside for the memory of those taken too soon,
I will be there, standing in front of Panel 28E; to reflect of the times we shared,
I will press a kiss upon your name, the last on line 12.
I will share the joys of your daughter and 3 granddaughters.
You were denied the honor of holding and watching grow.
That one day we shall share together again, hand in hand.

I miss you so much!
